UNASSIGNED: @entity5 is a common and @entity66 , especially in developing countries. We developed and implemented an interactive, tablet-based educational intervention to improve @entity5 knowledge among @entity1 in rural Malawi. Chichewa-speaking adult @entity1 in six rural villages participated. Each @entity1 took a pretest, participated in the lesson, and then took a posttest. The lesson included information on @entity5 symptoms, causes, risk factors, prevention, and treatment. Over the 6-month study period, 243 @entity1 participated. @entity1 ranged in age from 18 to 77  years. Only 15  % had education beyond primary school. Nearly half of @entity1 (48  %) had heard of @entity5 prior to viewing the lesson. For these @entity1 , the median number of correct responses on the pretest was 11 out of 20; after the lesson, they had a median of 18 correct responses (p   <   0.001). After the intervention, 93  % of @entity1 indicated a desire for @entity5 screening. Despite lack of familiarity with computers (96  %), most @entity1 (94  %) found the tablet easy to use. A tablet-based educational program was an effective, feasible, and acceptable strategy to disseminate @entity5 information to @entity1 with low education in rural Malawi. This method may be appropriate to distribute health information about other health topics in low-resource settings.
