This will help with measuring the effectiveness of an evidence-based mHealth application in a low-income country. Three factors will be studied when assessing the mHealth application's overall impact: 1) end-user content knowledge 2) pre and post stage of change and 3) system usage. This data will be collected by the mHealth application. End-users will use the mHealth application over a period of two months. Results will be shared with the clinical, health services research, information technology, and policy communities.", 'detailedDescription': 'Lesotho has second-highest HIV and fifth-highest tuberculosis prevalence rates worldwide, and a maternal mortality rate (1024/100,000) that is among the highest in Africa. As there are only 6.2 nurses and 0.5 physicians per 10,000 people, both about one-third of the African average, there is an enormous need for eHealth systems to assist the clinical care system.\n\nPreconception care is an effort to focus on engaging young women in their health before they become pregnant since many women enter pregnancy at risk for poor outcomes because of preexisting medical conditions or not following evidence-based preventive action. In 2013, the WHO prioritized research that focuses on developing, delivering, and scaling preconception women\'s health interventions in low and middle-income countries to optimize health and birth outcomes. The WHO emphasized implementation research as the key step in helping to maximize the coverage and uptake of preconception care to enhance the long-term health outcomes for women and their children.\n\nThe existing "Gabby" system is a patient-facing, user-friendly, evidence-based, scalable, culturally adaptive, health communication system designed to improve women\'s health. The investigator\'s team has developed and tested several Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs), which are virtual characters designed using expertise from health communication, psychotherapy, social psychology, sociolinguistics, linguistics, and communication theory.\n\nFor this project, the investigators will first adapt the existing "Gabby" system to a culturally appropriate mHealth application, called "Nthabi", and second, study the impact of the Nthabi application into district hospitals in Lesotho in partnership with the Lesotho Boston Health Alliance (LeBoHA) using the existing educational infrastructure. The research team will assess the effectiveness of Nthabi based on the periodic stage of change assessments over the two-month implementation, end-user content knowledge, and system usage.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '28 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Female Resident of Lesotho\n* English Speaking\n* Have access to an Android smartphone\n* Not currently pregnant at time of enrollment\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n-None'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04354168', 'briefTitle': 'Nthabi in Lesotho - Implementation', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Boston University'}, 'officialTitle': "Women's mHealth Program: Nthabi Application in Lesotho", 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'H-40268'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': 'R21TW011361-01', 'link': 'https://reporter.nih.gov/quickSearch/R21TW011361-01', 'type': 'NIH'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Nthabi mHealth Application', 'description': 'About 20 women from each of the ten district hospitals will be recruited.
