PLH Toddlers (Book-sharing) for Community Health Workers in South Africa Updates

The purpose of this project is to evaluate the impact of the training of Community Health Workers in the PLH Toddlers programme (called Dialogic book-sharing). The project will assess Community Health Workers’ knowledge, attitudes and behaviours with regards to the role that early stimulation, responsive caregiving and book-sharing can play in helping families and their young children thrive. The project will also assess the feasibility of the programme as well as the training needs of Community Health Workers in this area. In addition, the impact of the programme on parents will be assessed.
