CHW selection method for ‘iCCM only’ or ‘iCCM plus mobile’ training In the iCCM study intervention area, each village had a total of two to seven CHWs working in a team. Two CHWs from each team per village were then chosen to be trained in and provide iCCM, resulting in 68% of all CHWs to be trained. About half of the villages in the intervention area were also designated as ‘iCCM plus mobile’, where their ‘iCCM CHWs’ were trained in both iCCM and mobile phones. In the intervention area, 45 of 98 villages (46%) had all CHWs in their villages trained in iCCM, whereas the remaining villages had one or more remaining ‘basic CHWs’ who conducted standard CHW tasks.
