Summary

"Nuestras Historias" curriculum is a tablet-based digital story curriculum that was created through community-based participatory methods. It uses narrative videos to teach about local prenatal health issues in the Parinari District of Peru. This study aims to assess the impact of "Nuestras Historias" on pregnant women and their partners by measuring participants' changes in prenatal health knowledge, attitudes and behavioral intentions for pregnancy and birth after exposure to the curriculum. The study uses a cluster-randomized design, in which communities were match-paired and then randomized for pregnant women/partners to receive the "Nuestras Historias" curriculum vs. standard prenatal health teaching, delivered by local community health workers.
