Research Partner for a Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health (MNCH) Effectiveness Study in Ethiopia

Job Description

1. Background and Context

Adolescents 360 (A360) is an adolescent sexual and reproductive health program (ASRH) in Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Tanzania that launched in 2016. A360 has employed human centered design (HCD) to develop five unique interventions: Matasa Matan Arewa (MMA) in northern Nigeria, 9ja Girls in southern Nigeria, Smart Start in Ethiopia, Kuwa Mjanja in Tanzania, and Binti Shupavu in Kenya. Population Services International (PSI) implements A360 in Ethiopia. A360 interventions utilize an aspirational program approach to create relevance of contraception to the self-defined goals of adolescent girls (15-19 years). In Ethiopia, the project designed Smart Start, an innovative ASRH approach which uses financial counseling as a hook to elicit discussions with married adolescent girls and their husbands around delaying and spacing births. Smart Start is implemented within existing public health structures, primarily at the health post level, leveraging the critical presence and engagement of Health Extension Workers (HEWs) in the community.

The initial investment of A360 ended in September 2020. The follow-up investment is funded until 2025. Locally in Ethiopia this investment is known as the Roadmap for Integrating Smart Start in Ethiopia (RISE), though this is synonymous with A360 Ethiopia. Since 2021, A360 employed HCD to expand the Smart Start intervention with maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) components that aim to support married adolescent girls and their husbands with knowledge, self-efficacy, and competencies to pursue healthy pregnancies (when they decide to become pregnant). This expanded intervention component, Smart Pathways, creates demand for ANC and promotes self-efficacy among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) to seek care. A360 is also exploring potential funding to expand the Smart Pathways / Smart Start brand further to encompass the entire RMNCH continuum of care, working to address barriers to AGYW continuing to access quality services, including post-partum family planning (PPFP). This expansion would also include the extension of the target age range up to age 24.

A360 has designed an evaluation that employs an effectiveness-implementation research hybrid design. This design will enable A360 to execute implementation research to uncover barriers and facilitators for implementation and generate evidence on the incremental impact of the MNCH component to the existing ASRH interventions. The evaluation will entail a quantitative survey fielded to eligible married adolescent girls in intervention and comparison geographies and two cycles (baseline and three months after baseline) of data collection from these cohorts of girls. A third data collection time point will be conducted for girls who are pregnant at recruitment or who conceive in between the baseline and the second cycle, preferably in the post-partum period. The sample size for the quantitative study will be 1,190 participants and approximately 75% of girls will be pregnant at the time of recruitment, therefore requiring data collection for the third cycle. The qualitative component will consist of 24 in-depth interviews and four focus group discussions (FGDs) with married adolescent girls who have engaged with the MNCH components. The qualitive impact protocol (QuIP) approach will be used for this component. Further, ten key informant interviews with providers and mobilizers will be conducted. The key informants will be health extension workers, members of the Women’s Development Army and midwives. The qualitative component will be implemented once – at the midpoint of implementation around mid-2024. Should additional funding to expand these intervention components to include the full continuum of care be received, the evaluation would likely implement a second round of quantitative data collection from mid-2024 to mid-2025.

A360 has developed a comprehensive learning agenda for the MNCH component that includes routine analysis of program data, and the implementation-effectiveness hybrid study mentioned above. The evaluation framework and the study protocol have been developed. The protocol has been submitted to the institutional review board (IRB) and approvals are expected in August 2023. Data collection will resume in parallel with implementation in Q3 2023. We are seeking for applications from local research partners based in Ethiopia to execute data collection and analysis for the evaluation in both geographies. This scope of work (SOW) specifically describes the activities to be executed by the local research partners. The partners will be expected to collaborate with the A360 investigators to critically review the IRB-approved study materials, prepare for and execute data collection, perform data analysis, and generate comprehensive reports of the study findings.

2. Purpose and Objectives of the Research

The proposed evaluation seeks to determine the effectiveness of MNCH intervention components layered on Smart Start at increasing comprehensive knowledge and self-efficacy of married adolescent girls and young women aged 15-24 years in Ethiopia to pursue health pregnancies.

The secondary objectives of the evaluation are:

a) To evaluate the effectiveness of the MNCH component at increasing comprehensive knowledge of what care is required to attain healthy pregnancies.

b) To evaluate the effectiveness of the MNCH component at increasing comprehensive knowledge of antenatal care (ANC) content and its relevance towards pursuing healthy pregnancies.

c) To determine the intervention’s effect on increasing the self-efficacy of married adolescent girls at pursuing healthy pregnancies.

d) To uncover key drivers of change to the expected MNCH outcomes and establish the contribution of the MNCH components from Smart Start / Smart Pathways.

e) To investigate the system-level barriers, facilitators, and opportunities for program improvement during the implementation of the MNCH intervention components.

The following key outcome indicators will be pursued through the evaluation.

Primary outcome- Married adolescent girls (aged 15-19) have the knowledge, self-efficacy, and support to pursue healthy pregnancies in line with their preferences.

Intermediate outcome 1- Married adolescent girls (aged 15-19) have the knowledge to pursue healthy pregnancies.

Indicators

Married adolescent girls know the danger signs of pregnancy.
Married adolescent girls know when to begin ANC and how many visits are recommended.
Married adolescent girls say that ANC is relevant and valuable in pursuing healthy pregnancies and childbirth.
Pregnant married adolescent girls have knowledge of their supplementation options (particularly iron and folic acid) and where/how to access supplements.
Pregnant married adolescent girls can list at least three behaviors they can take to support a healthy pregnancy.
Pregnant married adolescent girls know the purpose of ANC and the most common tests performed.

Intermediate outcome 2- Married adolescent girls (aged 15-19) have self-efficacy to pursue healthy pregnancies.

Indicators

Pregnant married adolescent girls report confidence in speaking to their male partners about attending ANC.
Pregnant married adolescent girls feel comfortable visiting the provider for ANC.

Intermediate outcome 3- Pregnant married adolescent girls (aged 15-19) can articulate their post-pregnancy fertility preferences and have knowledge of the contraceptive options available to them.

Indicators

Pregnant married adolescent girls can articulate their fertility preferences for post-pregnancy.
Pregnant married adolescent girls know what contraceptive options they can access to achieve their post-pregnancy fertility preferences.

3. Approach for the Evaluation

The quantitative component of the evaluation will employ a clustered quasi-experimental design with concurrent data collection in intervention areas and selected comparison areas where no similar MNCH interventions are being implemented. Follow-up data will be collected with the same population of girls for each of the three potential cycles. The recruitment for the survey will be conducted in Q3 2023 and follow-up surveys conducted in Q4 2023 and Q1 2024 following a follow-up schedule depending on the recruitment

duration. The qualitative component will be a cross-sectional study design and data will be collected involving the intervention beneficiaries and implementers alone.

4. SOW for Evaluation Partner

A360 is seeking a competent and experienced local Evaluation Partner in Ethiopia:

a) Develop a detailed study execution plan for the quantitative survey (recruitment and the two follow-up data collection cycles).

b) Pre-test data collection tools, recruitment materials, and standard operating procedures for the study.

c) Support recruitment and training of study personnel aligning with SFH and PSI procedures.

d) Conduct field data collection activities for three cycles following strict quality assurance procedures and in line with PSI’s guidance on human subjects’ research.

e) Facilitate the qualitative data collection and data processing (i.e., transcription, de-identification, and analysis) using the QuIP approach and generate a well synthesized qualitative report.

f) Conduct data processing, de-dentification, and analysis following an agreed data analysis plan.

g) Draft a recruitment phase report.

h) Submit a synthesized deck summarizing the results of the initial 3-month follow-up.

i) Generate and submit final evaluation reports including feedback from the A360 team.

j) Deliver well labelled copies of all study materials and prepare a draft slide deck for sharing findings with A360 stakeholders.
