Training doctors did not improve careseeking in mothers
Training doctors to counsel mothers about when to seek care for their sick children did not improve mothers' careseeking behaviour, but it did affect their appreciation of the need to seek care. Mohan and colleagues trained a group of doctors from 12 primary care centres in rural India on how to educate mothers to detect signs of serious illness and seek medical attention (p 266). Although doctors' performance improved after training, six months later it had declined substantially.
