Description
A trial in south Ethiopia tested whether phone based health care can raise use of birth spacing after childbirth, and Gilano and co-authors report it in 2025. Use stays low in Ethiopia for many reasons, from social pressure to poor access to clear advice. Phones may help by sending direct, timely information to new mothers.
Health sites were split by chance into phone support and standard care, and pregnant women were followed after birth. Women with phone support were far more likely to use birth spacing and to plan its use than women with standard care. The authors also check which factors track with use, using a model that accounts for grouping by site.
