Increasing access to mobile phones has led to growing interest in phone surveys as a rapid, low-cost alternatives to face-to-face surveys. We assess determinants of RMNCH&N knowledge among pregnant women with access to phones and examine the reliability of alternative modalities of survey delivery.<h4>Participants</h4>Women 5-7 months pregnant with access to a phone.<h4>Setting</h4>Four districts of Madhya Pradesh, India.<h4>Design</h4>Cross-sectional surveys administered face-to-face and within 2 weeks, BMJ opene056076https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8915337biostudies-literatureAssessing the reliability of phone surveys to measure reproductive, maternal and child health knowledge among pregnant women in rural India: a feasibility study.PMC8915337Shah NMiller MAgarwal STiffin NDhar DKumar NVed RScott KChamberlain SShinde ADutt PMendiratta JBhatanagar AWeiss FChandra RMoodley DMitra RNg APenugonda NBhatnagar AGopalakrishnan SHonikman SDumke NMohan DChakraborty ASingh AGodfrey AArora SWhitehead SLabrique AUmmer OKilkari Impact Evaluation TeamParida DMulder NBashingwa JJHLeFevre AERahul SRajput SLeFevre AfalseAssessing the reliability of phone surveys to measure reproductive, maternal and child health knowledge among pregnant women in rural India: a feasibility study.<h4>Objectives</h4>Efforts to understand the factors influencing the uptake of reproductive, maternal, newborn, child health and nutrition (RMNCH&N) services in high disease burden low-resource settings have often focused on face-to-face surveys or direct observations of service delivery.
