Overview

Randomized trial evaluates training effectiveness in health workforces, highlighting key structural factors influencing outcomes.

Key Points

  • This study evaluates Japan’s ODA training programmes for health workforces in LMICs and identifies factors influencing training outcomes.
  • Cross-sectional questionnaire study from January to June 2023 in Laos and Mongolia
  • 148 health professionals participated in ODA training from 2013 to 2020
  • Used exploratory factor analysis, Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, and structural equation modelling with robust estimation.
  • EFA identified six latent factors related to training effectiveness.
  • Five factors were significantly associated with training effectiveness (e.g., Feasible Action Plan, β = 0.72, p < 0.001).
  • The model explained 45% of the variance in training effectiveness.
