Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The investigators propose to improve sustainability of HBB's impact by increasing skills retention with an innovative mobile application called HBB Prompt. HBB Prompt will be an interactive tool that guides frontline providers through the steps needed to save newborn babies at birth. HBB Prompt will facilitate individual and group training in health facilities using the Low Dose High Frequency model (LDHF) for resuscitation skills retention.
The investigators will robustly develop HBB Prompt by integrating human factors and user-centered design approaches. The investigators will engage end-users and HBB Master Trainers to iteratively collect feedback to develop HBB Prompt for both individual and small group resuscitation practice. The iterative approach will mitigate the common scenario of mobile health (mHealth) solutions unable to achieve sustained success at scale due to lack of comprehensive input from frontline users.
The investigators will pilot the app at a single centre and compare it to a control site for HBB skills retention at different time points after initial HBB training.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
HBB Prompt
The investigators will train frontline health providers in Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) 2.0 and Essential Care for Every Baby (ECEB). Providers will undergo ECEB training in addition to HBB as these training programs are recommended by the Uganda Ministry of Health to be offered together.
Providers at this hospital will have access to the most updated version of HBB Prompt (beta) after HBB training.
Participants in will be asked to achieve a minimum practice target of once per day (low-dose high frequency training). The recommended frequency to use the app will be once per shift.
HBB Prompt
Mobile app developed through user-centred design in phase 1 of this study
Low-Dose High Frequency training
Participants will be encouraged to practice their HBB skills daily
Control
The investigators will train frontline health providers in Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) 2.0 and Essential Care for Every Baby (ECEB). Providers will undergo ECEB training in addition to HBB as these training programs are recommended by the Uganda Ministry of Health to be offered together.
The control group will not have exposure to the HBB Prompt app post training. Participants in will be asked to achieve a minimum practice target of once per day (low-dose high frequency training).
