Project Details and Title: Development and Refinement of Adaptive Pediatric Acute Care Education (PACE) for Healthcare Providers in Tanzania: a tolerability and acceptability trial” in Mwanza, Tanzania

~1 million children die each year due to poor quality newborn and pediatric acute care of pneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria. Care improvement requires multiple interventions to be successful. We propose that educating providers to mastery level and maintaining that mastery over time, continuously adapting content to the provider needs and their facility priorities and resources will improve quality of care. Our approach, Pediatric Acute Care Education (PACE), utilizes an algorithmic based adaptive e-learning environment to educate providers to mastery, increase provider knowledge over time, as well as rapidly disseminate content based upon evidence-based practices as well as facility priorities and resources.

The purpose of this pilot study is to conduct PACE, an adaptive e-learning for healthcare providers to determine the safety, tolerability, and acceptability, identify independent and interactive treatment components, refine the intervention to determine optimal dosing and frequency of the intervention, as well as determine initial estimates of effect size on provider knowledge and skills. From this, we will determine baseline reach and adoption of PACE by providers, identify barriers and facilitators to protocol adherence, identify treatment components needed, and initial effect size on provider knowledge and refine the protocol to for optimal safety, tolerability, and acceptability. This study is in preparation for future efficacy and effectiveness trials.

On behalf of the PACE Project, CUHAS is looking for highly qualified and motivated persons to fill the following position/vacancy:
