The problem
Intervention: Community-based health promotion programme (HADP) delivering health education and promoting behaviour change
Who it was tested with: Mothers and families in Horowpathana, Anuradhapura District, Sri Lanka.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"A descriptive qualitative study was carried out using in-depth, semi-structured interviews with a convenient sample of 15 mothers who previously participated in HADP. Data analysis was done using the content analysis method." The study describes mothers' experiences and perceptions following a health promotion intervention, making this a practitioner-level evidence record based on qualitative accounts rather than experimental comparison or rigorous pre-post measurement.
Small convenient sample of 15 mothers limits generalizability; short follow-up period (4 months) insufficient to assess true long-term sustainability; no comparison group or baseline measurements; relies on maternal recall and perception rather than objective health outcomes for children
