<strong>Objective(s):</strong> Smart Discharges is a digital health program that uses individual-level risk prediction and intervention to increase effective health seeking behavior, improve health outcomes, and reduce mortality during the post-discharge period. Health workers aim to mitigate risk by educating caregivers on post-discharge care practices and by scheduling follow-up visits for at-risk children in their communities. <br />
<br /><strong>Data Description:</strong> This dataset features a 7-part caregiver counselling video series tailored to the Ugandan context. It includes an introductory video and seven videos focusing on essential post-discharge care practices: <br />
<br />1) Hygiene<br />
2) Nutrition<br />
3) Breastfeeding<br />
4) Care Seeking<br />
5) Mosquito Net Use<br />
6) Medications<br />
7) Immunizations<br />
<br />Videos are available in English and local Ugandan languages of Acholi, Luganda, Lusoga, and Runyankole. This dataset contains the <strong> English</strong> version. <br />
<br /><strong>Limitations:</strong> Videos were designed for the Ugandan context and may not be generalizable to other settings. <br />
