Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Likelihood of practicing EENC among health staff. The data will be collected six times during the study period: 1) before the EENC coaching, 2) before randomization, 3) three months after randomization, 4) six months after randomization, 5) nine months after randomization, 6) one year after randomization. Likelihood of behaviour is quantified by using a self-administered questionnaire that is developed based on the Planned behavior theory(Ajzen, 1991). There are 48 questions in total and each question has scale between 1 to 7.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1.Knowledge on EENC among health staff The data will be collected three times during the study period: 1) before the EENC coaching, 2) before randomization, and 3) one year after randomization. 2.Skill on EENC among health staff The data will be collected twice during the study period: 1) before randomization and 2) one year after randomization. We will use a written and simulation tests to evaluate and quantify the level of knowledge and skills on EENC. 3.Hospital environmental changes facilitating implementation of EENC The data will be collected twice in both groups during the study period: 1) before randomisation and 2) one year after randomisation by the provincial officials. We will use a checklist designed by the Lao MoH and the WHO to quantify the district hospital's level of commitment and the availability of essential equipment, commodities, medications and human resources in each facility.	—
