Attention mHealth projects: Important request
Dear Colleague who is working on an mHealth (mobile phone or PDA) project:
We are conducting a short survey with all mHealth projects to understand the needs that mHealth projects have related to project monitoring and evaluation, funding, capacity building and other topics. Your contribution to this survey is important, as it will help inform and guide agencies that are involved in supporting or funding mHealth projects, research and technical assistance.
The survey is intended for ALL types of mHealth efforts -- regardless of the stage of development, scale, or inclusion or exclusion of M&E into the project.
We feel that it is important that each of the mHealth projects that you oversee or contribute to, is represented in the results of the survey. The survey is short and is intended to not take very much of your precious time.
The survey should take no more than 15 minutes of your time to complete. We kindly request you to contribute to the survey by April 20th.
The online survey is available at the following web link:

We would kindly ask you to fill out the survey for each of the mHealth projects that you are implementing. There are instructions at the end of the first survey directing you to a shorter survey that can be used for each subsequent mHealth project.
We will make available the aggregate results of this study once it has been completed.
Please feel free to contact us if you should have any questions.
If your internet access is not consistent, or you would prefer that we implement the survey with you directly over the phone, please contact one of us at the email below.
Thank you very much,
Garrett Mehl, World Health Organization ()
