Know-do gaps in the clinical management of childhood illness
To improve quality of care, it is critical to understand why providers do not consistently follow clinical guidelines. Our findings suggest that adherence to protocols is low, but that knowledge is not the primary barrier. Interventions to improve quality must go beyond improving knowledge to also address other drivers of provider behavior such as motivation, workload, and systemic constraints
Resilience of front-line facilities during Covid-19
Responsive primary health-care facilities are the foundation of resilient health systems, yet little is known about facility-level processes that contribute to the continuity of essential services during a crisis. This paper describes the aspects of primary health-care facility resilience to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in eight countries. Rapid-cycle phone surveys were conducted with health facility managers in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, C…
Incentivizing Quantity and Quality of Care
To improve utilization and quality of health services, a growing number of low- and middle-income countries have been experimenting with financial incentives tied to providers’ performance. Relying on a difference-in-differences approach, we estimate the impacts of the performance-based financing pilot in Tajikistan. Primary care facilities were given financial incentives conditional on the quality and quantity of selected services. Significant i…
Inequality in the Quality of Health Services
We use unique data on direct observations of patient-provider interactions linked to detailed patient exit interviews and household surveys to study the relationship between patients’ socioeconomic status and the quality of antenatal care in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We find a significant wealth-quality gradient: a 1 standard deviation in household wealth is associated with a 1.6–3.2 percentage point increase in protocol compliance, depen…
Financial Incentives, Fertility, and Son Preference in Armenia
Armenia experienced dramatic demographic \n changes in the past three decades: the share of adults age \n 65 and over nearly doubled, the total fertility rate reduced \n by more than 30 percent, and the male-to-female sex ratio at \n birth increased to one of the world’s highest. Like other \n middle-income countries concerned with the implications of \n an aging population for long-term growth and fiscal \n sustainability, Armenia introduced fin…
Quality of clinical assessment and child mortality
This analysis describes specific gaps in the quality of health care in Central Africa and assesses the association between quality of clinical care and mortality at age 2–59 months. Regionally representative facility and household surveys for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cameroon and Central African Republic were collected between 2012 and 2016. These data are novel in linking facilities with households in their catchment area. Complianc…
HIV Testing, Behavior Change, and the Transition to Adulthood in Malawi
For young adults living in countries with AIDS epidemics, getting an HIV test may influence near-term decisions, such as when to leave school, when to marry, and when to have a first child. These behaviors, which define the transition from adolescence to adulthood, have long-term implications for well-being and directly affect a person’s risk of contracting HIV. Using an experimental design embedded in a panel survey from Malawi, this study asses…
