Summary: Kilkari is an outbound service that delivers prerecorded calls about reproductive, maternal, neonatal, and child health to families' mobile phones. Despite expanding to multiple states in India, the coverage among pregnant women remains low. While the call reach appears to be high, subscriber retention is low, highlighting broader challenges with scaling mobile health services in India.

Another voice in the crowd: the challenge of changing family planning and child feeding practices through mHealth messaging in rural central India

Kerry Scott et al.

Summary: The study found that exposure to Kilkari increased modern contraceptive uptake but did not change infant and young child feeding practices. Interviews revealed that pregnant women with their own phones were more likely to be Kilkari listeners, while those without phones often had their husbands listening instead. Respondents tended to retain and appreciate Kilkari messages that aligned with their existing worldviews, social norms, and practices, but overlooked or de-emphasized content that did not.
