Community health volunteers' performance in rural areas of Yemen: a community-based satisfaction survey.
Article in Journal of rural medicine : JRM, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: Many developing countries utilize the services of community health volunteers (CHVs) to enhance healthcare services in underserved regions. Evaluating client satisfaction with CHVs' performance is crucial for ensuring the effective utilization of their services. This study aims to assess clients' satisfaction with the provision of basic reproductive health services by CHVs in the governorates of Ibb and Al Mahweet, Yemen. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, collecting data via structured questionnaires administered by trained data collectors to clients of CHVs. A total of 510 households were interviewed, with 255 from each governorate, distributed across 30 clusters (villages). Each governorate comprised 15 clusters in 12 districts (six districts in Ibb and five in Al Mahweet, excluding one district for security reasons). Within each cluster, 17 households were randomly selected for interviews. Descriptive analysis was performed using the SPSS version 22. Results: The majority of the clients were female (84.7%), most were aged 20-39 years (55.7%), and more than half of them had received at least primary education (54.2%). The study findings indicate that a significant proportion of respondents were highly satisfied with CHVs' performance (93%). Almost all respondents confirmed that CHVs resided in their villages (94%) and were easily accessible for consultation (99%). Most of the respondents (97%) expressed trust in the CHVs, stating that they were helpful to all villagers and treated them well. Additionally, nearly all the respondents reported easy access to services (98.6%), although a considerable percentage experienced a gap of three months or more since their last interaction with a CHV (39.1%). Conclusion: The CHVs contribute to the well-being of the rural populations in Yemen by delivering satisfactory services, particularly regarding family planning. However, ensuring the sustainability of the CHV programs remains a challenge, which requires attention from the program managers and decision makers in the Yemeni healthcare sector.
