Measure
Treatment: MOMS Postpartum Course
Community health workers (CHWs) in the treatment group will complete the MOMS Postpartum course online training program. They will engage with the training materials, apply learned concepts, and complete pretest and posttest assessments to measure changes in their knowledge, skills, attitudes, intentions and self-efficacy. MOMS Postpartum Course: Online professional development training for CHWs on outreach and support for high-risk postpartum mothers
Control
Community health workers (CHWs) in the control group will not receive access to the MOMS Postpartum course training during the study period. Their will continue their usual work without the additional training while also completing pretest and posttest assessments to allow for comparison with the treatment group.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: From pretest to posttest (1 week)

Population: One participant excluded for missing data

At both pretest and posttest, we asked all participants the same multiple choice knowledge questions on content related to postpartum care, self-care practices, and needs of postpartum mothers based on information from the MOMS Postpartum course lessons, which we will average to create a composite knowledge score for each participant ranging from 0 to 100. A score of 0 meant a participant got zero questions correct while a score of 100 meant a participant got all questions correct. We will average these composite scores across all participants for both groups to create mean scores. We then subtracted pretest scores from posttest scores and will average these changes for all participants. Positive scores mean a gain in knowledge and a higher scores mean higher gains from baseline to posttest.
