Program description:

You are going to support the project “Learning Clubs on the first 1000 days”.

Learning Clubs are a novel, evidence-informed, structured intervention addressing the major risks to early childhood health and development in the first 1000 days of life (pregnancy and until child 2 years old). In a joint project RTCCD Vietnam, Monash University, the University of Melbourne and the Burnet Institute in Australia, with the support of Vietnam’s Ministry of Health, developed Learning Clubs and are running a trial to evaluate the impact of this approach in a rural province in Vietnam. This innovation was developed from the evidence generated by the collaboration over the past 15 years about the psychological and general health of women during pregnancy and after giving birth, and the health and development of their young children.

The Learning Clubs intervention comprises 20 educational sessions, one a home visit and the others, facilitated group meetings. All content is drawn from interventions shown in randomized control trials in resource-constrained settings to be effective in addressing maternal nutrition, mental health, parenting capabilities, infant health and development, or gender-based violence and empowerment. Sessions are organized into five modules targeting perinatal stage-specific essential knowledge and skills. The educational package includes 3 family books, 5 facilitator handbooks, 50 video clips and 20 take-home-message posters. The project materials were developed by contracted with a media company (VTV) to design the books and to shot video clips. Men are invited to participate in sessions and facilitators are trained to include them in the learning activities and question and answer discussions. The importance to optimizing women’s health and infant health and development of men’s care is emphasized and the harms of family violence outlined.

So far, we have developed about 15 video on pregnancy care and children 0-6 months care. During the learning club sessions with families and newborns children, we received a lot of questions about child skin problem after delivery and diaper problems. We need support to develop short video clips (2-5 mintues/each) to give answer to family about child skin problem and how to care for that and how to prevent that in the future. We need supports from doctor or nurse who have profound experience and background in skin care, or dermatology.
