Advancing Female University Students' Health Through Mobile Technology in Ethiopia (EMPOWER)
Advancing Female University Students Sexual and Reproductive Health, Nutrition, and Psychosocial Well-being Through Mobile Technology Interventions in Ethiopia
Background: Female university students in Ethiopia experience a high burden of sexual and reproductive health, nutrition, and psychosocial problems, exacerbated by limited access to essential health services and support. Mobile technology provides an opportunity to deliver accessible, evidence-based health interventions.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile technology-based intervention in improving SRH, nutrition, and psychosocial well-being among female university students in Ethiopia.
Methods: A concurrent mixed-methods study will be conducted among first-year female university students. Baseline quantitative and qualitative assessments will identify needs, barriers, and facilitators. A randomized controlled trial will evaluate a comprehensive mobile health education intervention delivered monthly. Quantitative data will be analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data will undergo thematic analysis.
Expected Outcomes: Improved sexual and reproductive health, dietary practices, and psychosocial well-being among female university students.
Duration and Budget: The project will be implemented over the proposed study period with a total budget of 1,208,564 Ethiopian birr.

Экспериментальный: M-health intervention
The intervention will address key components of adolescent health, including appropriate and responsible digital technology use, the fundamentals of sexual and reproductive health (SRH), adolescent nutrition, psychosocial well-being, health-related risk factors, and preventive measures.
Intervention content will be developed in a concise and age-appropriate format and delivered monthly via mobile technology over a period of three consecutive years.
Following each message, feedback will be collected from participating students to assess message receipt, exposure, and whether the content has been read.
This process will also facilitate monitoring of students' engagement with the intervention throughout the study period.
