ASPIRES Malawi Financial Diaries for Prevention of Mother-To-Child Transmission (PMTCT) Study, 2018-2019

FHI 360’s Accelerating Strategies for Practical Innovation and Research in Economic Strengthening (ASPIRES) project aimed to support gender-sensitive programming, research and learning to improve the economic security of highly vulnerable individuals, families and children. Under ASPIRES, we conducted a study (July 2018 - February 2019) to understand the financial lives of HIV-positive pregnant women and new mothers in Zomba, Malawi. We also collected clinical data on study participants to assess correlations between financial behavior and health-seeking.
