Summary

This study will assess how the current VHV (VHV=CHW, community health worker) scope can be expanded to include iCCM and if such group interventions can provide improved access to treatment for children.

In rural SW Uganda, can iCCM provided by lay volunteers, increase the proportion of children with diarrhoea receiving ORS/Zn, ARI receiving anti-biotics, and fever/malaria receiving anti-malarials?
