  Sensitisation activities


Researchers provided sensitisation sessions to all health facilities in the study districts, traditional birth attendants and community members. Health workers were introduced to Newhints, the work of the volunteers and the long-term goals of the intervention. TBAs were encouraged that their work was important and that their cooperation with CBSVs would be valuable to the community. Community leaders were asked for consent and CBSVs were introduced to all community members through a special event during which volunteers were presented certificates of their qualifications and training.
