| contents | <p>Public health surveillance systems are essential for monitoring diseases and implementing preventive measures in populations. In Kenya, these systems aim to enhance disease detection and response strategies but their effectiveness varies widely. A randomized field trial was conducted among healthcare workers across five districts in Kenya. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (receiving training on new surveillance tools) or a control group (standard operating procedures). Adoption rates, defined as the percentage of participants who used the new surveillance system within three months post-intervention, were measured. The analysis revealed that the intervention group showed a significantly higher adoption rate than the control group ($eta = 0.65$, $p < 0.01$; 95% CI: [0.32, 0.98]), indicating that training on new surveillance tools can substantially increase system use. The randomized field trial demonstrated the effectiveness of targeted interventions in improving adoption rates for public health surveillance systems, providing a concrete and replicable method for enhancing such systems' operational efficiency. Public health officials should prioritise tailored training programmes as part of ongoing efforts to improve adoption rates and ensure consistent system use across different settings. public health surveillance, randomized field trial, intervention impact, adoption rate, Kenya</p> |
