Abstract

This study presents a rigorously adapted and validated tool for assessing mHealth usability and acceptability among CHWs in Rwanda. The Community Health Worker mHealth Usability and Acceptability Assessment Tool can guide future evaluations of mHealth interventions in similar contexts and serve as a model for localizing mHealth assessment tools in low- and middle-income country settings to ensure fit-for-purpose implementation.
