Summary
This project will determine how well the mobile health (mHealth) Nthabi application is introduced and used at district hospitals in Lesotho. This will help with measuring the effectiveness of an evidence-based mHealth application in a low-income country. Three factors will be studied when assessing the mHealth application's overall impact: 1) end-user content knowledge 2) pre and post stage of change and 3) system usage. This data will be collected by the mHealth application. End-users will use the mHealth application over a period of two months. Results will be shared with the clinical, health services research, information technology, and policy communities.
