Lanto Barthelemy Rakototiana, Rajabo, Serge Gottot · 2017 · BMC Medical Education

Summary. A study in Madagascar compared internet-based and DVD-based distance learning for training rural health center leaders on hypertension management. Both methods significantly improved knowledge scores. DVD training proved slightly more effective for doctors, while both methods performed equally for paramedics. The researchers recommend DVD as the preferred approach for Madagascar's remote health centers, where internet access is limited.
