Description

Objective(s): Smart Discharges is a digital health program that uses individual-level risk prediction and intervention to increase effective health seeking behavior, improve health outcomes, and reduce mortality during the post-discharge period. Health workers aim to mitigate risk by educating caregivers on post-discharge care practices and by scheduling follow-up visits for at-risk children in their communities.

Data Description: This dataset features a 7-part caregiver counselling video series tailored to the Ugandan context. It includes an introductory video and seven videos focusing on essential post-discharge care practices:

1) Hygiene
2) Nutrition
3) Breastfeeding
4) Care Seeking
5) Mosquito Net Use
6) Medications
7) Immunizations

Videos are available in English and local Ugandan languages of Acholi, Luganda, Lusoga, and Runyankole. This dataset contains the Luganda version.

Limitations: Videos were designed for the Ugandan context and may not be generalizable to other settings.

Abbreviations: Village Health Teams (VHT) (i.e. local term for Community Health Worker (CHW))
