Barriers to learning from clinic-based health talks

Project Active from 28 Nov 2025 to 29 Mar 2026 Sustainable Growth, Public health, Healthcare and Behaviour

This project measures caregiver understanding of key messages, examines how accurately providers assess that understanding, and identify opportunities for low-cost, scalable improvements.
