An issue of the two intervention studies reported so far is that they are not very scalable because the training sessions had to be conducted in a one-on-one setting.
It is obvious that health education sessions have to be conducted in a language each target individual understands.
Awareness sessions have to be conducted on a regular basis and on different forums to better inform the elder women and expecting mothers about the benefits of making use of skilled birth attendants, that is, CMWs.
A mock session will be conducted to increase familiarity with the tool.
These sessions will be conducted face-to-face or by telephone, depending on mutual convenience of patient and the health professional.
The remaining sessions will be conducted as group sessions.
Sessions four to eight will be conducted separately for children and parents.
In cases where the subject retrieved less than 9 mealworms per session a fourth session was conducted to increase the number of grasping events.
Prior to exercising, a familiarisation session was conducted to collect demographic information and to familiarize the subjects to the study protocol and its field investigators.
