Mobile Health Clinics' Impact on Cholera Prevention Awareness in Rural Ethiopian Communities: A Short-Term Assessment

Cholera remains a significant public health concern in rural Ethiopian communities, where access to healthcare facilities is limited. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews was employed to analyse data from a sample of 200 participants randomly selected from targeted villages. Mobile health clinics conducted two cholera prevention awareness sessions, resulting in an 85% increase in community members' understanding of cholera symptoms and preventive measures. The mobile health clinics significantly enhanced cholera prevention knowledge among rural Ethiopian communities within a short timeframe. Mobile health clinics should be integrated into routine public health programmes to continue improving community health awareness, particularly for diseases like cholera. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
