Can a simple training boost health worker performance and data quality?
NCT ID NCT07509931
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a training program called Empowerment Agency Training (EAT) for health workers at primary care centers in Indonesia. The goal is to see if the training helps workers feel more in control, reduce burnout, and improve the accuracy of health data they record. 200 workers will take part, with half receiving the training and the other half continuing as usual.
