This cluster randomized controlled trial evaluated a technology-based (mHealth) intervention package called Innovations At Scale For Community Access and Lasting Effects. The package supports integrated community case management programs using CHWsto increase treatment coverage for children with malaria, diarrhea, and pneumonia (MDP). Results showed an MDP prevalence of 53.5% in the control arm compared to 43.7% in the intervention arm. This study highlights the potential value of a technology intervention to support CHWs to address the largest causes of childhood morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa.
