| PI Contribution | Training to conduct an audit of births was provided to sites in Uganda (2), India, Kenya and Pakistan. This included training in data collection, project management, and data entry. Site visits were conducted in India, Uganda and Kenya, with presentations and seminars on the project and timing of cord clamping. Training in conducting the physiological study weighing babies at birth was conducted in India, which included training in using the equipment, screening and consent, data collection, and data entry. For both these projects, data our research team conducted the data analysis. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Development and piloting of the audit project took place during an initial site visit. Local collaborators contributed to development of the protocol and data collection tools. At all the 5 audit sites, trained staff were responsible for training and supervision of local projects staff. For the qualitative study in Uganda, the protocol and interview schedule were developed by the local researchers, who also conducted the interviews and analysed the data. |
| Impact | Multidisciplinary collaboration: obstetricians, paediatricians and neonatologists, midwives, research nurses. |
