ABSTRACT

This study investigates the utilization of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) by mothers in accessing maternal and child health information. With a focus on understanding the patterns, preferences, and challenges associated with ICT use in this context, the research aims to provide insights into how digital platforms can be leveraged to improve maternal and child health outcomes. Through surveys, interviews, and content analysis of online health resources, the study seeks to identify barriers to ICT access and utilization among mothers, as well as strategies for enhancing the effectiveness of ICT-based health information dissemination. The findings contribute to the development of targeted interventions that harness the potential of ICTs to empower mothers with timely and accurate health information, thereby promoting better maternal and child health outcomes.
