The problem
Intervention: Community Health and Nutrition Program including service-provider training and media campaigns delivering messages about maternal, infant, and young child nutrition and modern contraception
Who it was tested with: 3,518 pregnant and lactating women in Amman, Karak, and Zarqa governates, Jordan (2021-23).
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.
"PLW respondents indicated whether receiving messages about MIYCN and contraceptive use changed their practices, and whether their decision-making was total, shared with other family members (husbands, mothers, mothers-in-law), or not possible for these choices. Results were analyzed using chi-square tests and multiple linear regressions." The program delivered messages and measured before-after change in practices among the same population, though without a separate comparison group.
Cross-sectional design prevents causal inference. No comparison group or control arm. Self-reported measures only, so does not capture actual decision-making processes or perspectives of family members. Cannot determine if women with more children had more autonomy or if autonomy leads to having more children.
