Philani Intervention Model+MOVIE (PIM+M)
The PIM+M intervention will involve the integration of the mobile video intervention into the standard perinatal counseling program offered by the intervention mentor-mothers. MOVIE intervention videos are narrated in English and isiXhosa, the languages spoken most widely among the study participants. Teaching videos are short (2-5 min.) and use simple language, avoiding medical jargon. The modularity of the videos facilitates delivery in any order and thus, they can be deployed at the discretion of each skilled mentor-mother, such that the health messages delivered are aligned with the individual needs of each participant at each perinatal stage. All videos will be administered at least once to each participant in the intervention group during the study period.

The Philani Intervention Model (PIM) describes a structured program of antenatal and postnatal home-visits covering foundational health promotion topics including nutrition in pregnancy, infant feeding, newborn care and maternal mental health among others.
