The Dagu PhD student Theodros Getachew published this paper in PLOS ONE aiming to evaluate the association between the Optimising the Health Extension Program (OHEP) intervention and the health extension workers’ ability to correctly classify common childhood illnesses in four regions of Ethiopia.

The study used data collected from four Ethiopian regions during baseline and endline assessments undertaken in 2016 and 2018, respectively. Health extension workers’ consultations with ill children were observed in intervention and comparison areas.

Study authors conclude that the OHEP intervention was not associated with an improved classification of childhood illnesses by  Ethiopian primary health care workers.
