The Acute Respiratory Infection Diagnostic Aid (ARIDA) acceptability study aims to understand if health extension workers in Ethiopia can correctly adhere to integrated community case management (iCCM) algorithms to assess and classify children under five using a new automated respiratory rate counter – the Philips Children’s Respiration Monitor (ChARM) device.
This presentation, delivered at the 67th annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, presents findings from the study thus far.
