FACTORS EFFECTING EARLY IDENTIFICATION OF PREGNANT WOMEN BY COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS IN MOROGORO, TANZANIA

I analyzed semi-structured focus groups from the Morogoro Evaluation Project (a project focusing on maternal and child health in the region) for this study. Ten semi-structured focus groups with women and community health workers were analyzed via a thematic approach.

​

Several themes were found and synthesized in a model to better understand challenges community health workers face in engaging with women in their communities. I worked with my faculty supervisor and partners at the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences in Dar es Salam to construct this model. 

​

In collaboration with our Tanzanian partners, this study was published in BMC Public Health in 2019.
