Estimating the impact of Viamo call-in information services on sexual and reproductive health knowledge, behavior, and outcomes among women of reproductive age: A 2-arm open label randomized controlled trial in Uganda

The results of this trial suggest that access to call-in services can increase health knowledge and to some extent also health behaviors. Longer and more intensive program exposure may be needed to yield measurable changes in reproductive outcomes and nutritional status.
