Abstract

Remote health worker training programmes have been implemented in rural communities to address healthcare access disparities. A comparative analysis using qualitative data from interviews and surveys conducted between and in rural Ethiopia. Significant differences were observed in the proportion of participants who completed training (65% vs. 40%) based on their initial level of education, indicating potential benefits for those with higher educational backgrounds. The remote health worker training programme showed mixed outcomes and highlights the importance of addressing socio-economic factors to improve participation rates. Future studies should consider incorporating additional support mechanisms for participants with lower levels of education to enhance overall effectiveness.
