Improving Medication Availability through Mobile Wallets and Pooled Community Funds: Results from the MoPuleesa Hypertension Intervention in Rural Uganda
In Uganda, frequent shortages of antihypertensive medications hinder continuity of care, undermining blood pressure management. Building on preliminary ethnographic research, this study evaluates a community-led, mobile-wallet-based pooling intervention— MoPuleesa—designed to improve medication access at a rural clinic in Nakaseke District, Uganda. Over a seven-month period, 183 patients enrolled and were linked to a digital savings platform that…
What Works in Reducing Economic Violence Against Women: Global Evidence From a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Economic violence against women includes control and exploitation of economic resources, employment sabotage, and partners’ refusal to contribute to household necessities. This form of intimate partner violence threatens women’s economic welfare, independence, and health. Despite its significance, evidence on effective prevention strategies remains limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate global experimental evidence on interven…
Does bundling reminders with messages debunking misconceptions improve the demand for preventive health services? A randomized controlled trial among adults with hypertension in Punjab, India
Regular follow-up visits are a crucial component of prevention and care for several important non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Yet evidence across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) reveals low demand for preventive healthcare visits. While reminders are commonly used to improve follow-up visit attendance, we hypothesized that low demand could also be driven by misconceptions about the need for preventive care. We thus conducted a randomiz…
Effectiveness of WhatsApp based debunking reminders on follow-up visit attendance for individuals with hypertension: A randomized controlled trial in India
The trial began on July 18th. We registered the trial on July 18th (before recruitment began), including the main outcomes, on the German Clinical Trial Register [Identifier: DRKS00029712] and published a pre-analysis plan in the Open Science Framework [osf.io/67g35]
