Spreading the Integrated District Evidence-to-Action Program for Neonatal Mortality Reduction (IDEAs) in Mozambique

This proposal complements a foundation-supported project that scales-up a health systems intervention (modified and enhanced audit and feedback) targeting facility and district managers – and by studying the implementation process – this study will build evidence on how to achieve rapid, sustainable, and scalable improvements in services to improve population health in resource limited countries. This study uses a quasi-experimental design to evaluate the implementation and dissemination of the Integrated District Evidence to Action (IDEAs) intervention, an audit and feedback implementation intervention that aims to improve the coverage and quality of evidenced-based clinical interventions for neonates in Mozambique. The project uses the RE-AIM framework to assess the intervention’s reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation and maintenance (RE-AIM) to inform further national scale-up.
