Exploring the use of mobile phone technology for the enhancement of the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV program in Nyanza, Kenya: a qualitative study
Overview
Community-based mobile phone programs can complement gaps in clinical services for prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in areas with poor infrastructure and personnel shortages. However, community and health worker perceptions on optimal mobile phone communication for prevention of mother-to-child transmission are underexplored. This study examined what specific content and forms of mobile communication are acceptable to support the prevention of mother-to-child transmission.
