研究组 & 干预措施
Control arm
Traditional birth attendants will receive an offer of two-weekly payouts per reported delivery they take that is verified by client.
Referral incentive arm
Traditional birth attendants will receive an offer of two-weekly payouts per reported delivery they take that is verified by client.
Traditional birth attendants randomized to this arm will also receive an offer of two-weekly payouts per successful referral of delivery clients to postnatal care within 48 hours of delivery in a facility if verified.
干预措施: Performance-based monetary incentives (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Maternal Postnatal Care Referral
时间窗: Within 48 hours of delivery
The proportion of delivery clients that are successfully referred by the traditional birth attendant for postnatal care within 48 hours of delivery. For each delivery client that the traditional birth attendant reported, we visited at least three days after delivery to ascertain if they had been asked to visit the postnatal clinic, clarify if they had visited the clinic within 48 hours of delivery, and what care they had received (if yes). The team visited traditional birth attendants every two weeks to identify new clients. Where a new client was not up to three days post-delivery, the interview was postponed until the next visit by the team to the community. This occurred repeatedly, over a five-month frame.
次要结局
- Neonatal Postnatal Care Referral(Within 48 hours of delivery)
