Description
Chelsey Porter Erlank and co-authors study, in a 2026 paper, how well a train the trainer scheme worked for a self injectable contraceptive in Ghana. The drug, a subcutaneous form of a long acting hormone shot, can be given by any trained person, including the user herself. When Ghana scaled it up from 2019 to 2021, it had trained staff teach their own colleagues on the job to save money.
The team checked how evenly that hand off training was carried out in practice. They surveyed 192 health workers across trained sites in four regions, and held key talks as well. They compared what formally trained workers knew with what on the job trainees knew. The mixed methods design pairs broad counts with first hand accounts. The aim was to judge whether the cheaper route keeps quality up.
