Dartmouth College - External Impact Assessment

Research & Development Update

The Dartmouth-led team resumed their activities after a nine-month delay due to the pandemic.

The protocol was modified to consider the new COVID-19 safety protocols and modifications to our data collection instruments in an effort to differentiate the effect of our program from the impact of COVID-19 on access to and utilization of MNH services.

Approval for these modifications was obtained from the Nepal Health Research Council. New field teams were hired and trained.

We expect phase - 1 of the fieldwork (data collection process) to be completed by the end of Q1 2021.
