Abstract

Cholera outbreaks remain a significant public health concern in Mozambique, necessitating effective community engagement strategies. The study employed mixed-methods approaches including surveys, focus group discussions, and data triangulation to assess CHW activities and community perceptions over a one-year period. CHWs significantly increased awareness of cholera symptoms and prevention measures (85% reported improved knowledge), leading to a 20% reduction in cholera cases compared to baseline. The engagement programme demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing CHW performance and community health outcomes, warranting sustained investment and further research. Sustained funding for ongoing training and support of CHWs is recommended alongside continuous monitoring of prevention efforts. Community Health Workers, Cholera Prevention, Mozambique, Engagement Strategies Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
