This Project Grant award of $608,507 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) supports the development, implementation, and evaluation of a training program on the treatment of health complications due to female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) in Tanzania. The key products and services to be delivered through this 5-year award include: 1) conducting a social ecological needs assessment to understand the healthcare needs of Tanzanian women who have experienced FGM/C, 2) developing a tailored FGM/C training curriculum for healthcare providers in the Tanzanian context, including a "train the trainer" component, and 3) evaluating the effectiveness of the training program through a randomized controlled trial with medical, nursing, and midwifery students. The ultimate goal is to create a training program that can be integrated into existing healthcare curricula and adopted as a new standard for FGM/C-related care across both low and high prevalence areas.
