These documents describe the objectives and hypotheses for 5 studies related to healthcare in Kashmir, India. Each study aims to: 1) Assess current knowledge/behaviors using pre-tests 2) Develop and administer educational modules (self-instructional or video-assisted) 3) Post-test to evaluate effectiveness of the modules in improving knowledge/behaviors 4) Analyze relationships between post-test scores and demographic variables. The studies focus on topics like: behavioral problems in preschoolers; breast milk expression/storage; tonsillitis knowledge; neonatal sepsis prevention; and sibling rivalry management. All hypotheses predict significant improvements in post-test scores and associations with demographics.
