Project Description
Research on the effectiveness of Super Abbu will not only help understand how such speech-based public health information delivery services might overcome MNCH challenges in Punjab but will generalize to public health service delivery across the developing world where many of the same challenges exist. Super Abbu will also generate useful information on frequently asked questions for public health professionals to better understand their population. Additionally, Super Abbu itself, if found to be successful, could easily be scaled up to reach other developing countries to improve public health.
