0.15 Four Insights

The Project RISE data set and a great deal of analysis and co-design led to the identification of four insights that harness this ritual framework to improve ASHA motivation and performance. Combined with a ritual framework and the key guiding ritually-derived concepts of lived experience, connectedness, and embededness, these insights will be explored for service-oriented tools to assist the ASHA in her role:

1. ASHA embeddedness raises unique tensions that affect her motivation and performance.

2. ASHA interactions are impactful but access is missing during critical time periods.

3. The Perinatal Journey is shaped by complex inter-connections of behaviors and motivations.

4. ASHAs are the primary influencer for some behaviors, and only one among many for others.

Most of the following Report focuses on the raw data and its analysis that leads not just these four opportunity areas but many empirical findings as well. The specific design process used to move from the datastreams to these opportunity areas is summarized in Chapter 10.
