The problem
Intervention: Amagugu Asakhula nurturing care intervention delivered by community health workers linked to a public sector primary health care facility, involving 6 weeks of sessions with caregivers
Who it was tested with: 14 community health workers and 23 caregivers of preschool-age children (3-5 years) in Soweto, South Africa.
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 qualitative design was utilised to assess feasibility, acceptability, adoption, appropriateness, implementation, fidelity and context. CHWs (n = 14) delivered the intervention to caregivers (n = 23) of preschool-age children in Soweto over 6 weeks. Following the completion of the intervention, focus group discussions were held with CHWs and caregivers." This qualitative feasibility assessment used structured data collection methods appropriate to evaluate whether a delivery model could work in practice.
This was a small feasibility study in one location without a comparison group and without measurement of child health or development outcomes. The study assessed feasibility of delivery mode rather than intervention effectiveness.
