Clinical Trial Summary

The study evaluates the impact of a new conditional cash transfer (CCT) program (Thayi Bhagya Yojana) to promote child birth in obstetric facilities in the state of Karnataka, India in order to determine its policy value and to guide efforts to improve maternal and infant health outcomes nationally. In addition, the study includes a large randomized evaluation of performance-based incentive payments to providers to improve quality of medical care provided during delivery and actual health improvement in the providers' patient populations and their catchment areas.


Description:

The evaluation study will first provide new evidence on the effectiveness of demand-side strategies to increase institutional deliveries and improve childbirth outcomes. Second, the study will analyze one of the first implementations of direct rewards to providers for health improvement in a developing country. Third, the study will provide critical new insight into dynamics between demand and supply-side incentives in improving population health outcomes as either complements or substitutes.

The study uses household survey to collect data from mothers on socio-economic, human capital, quality of life variables (including below poverty line [BPL] index components) and as well as information about deliveries, fertility histories, morbidity and mortality (for mothers, infants, and children), birth related complications, health service use and spending. Additionally, provider surveys will collect data on infrastructure, staffing, provider qualifications, provider knowledge and process measures of provider performance.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Increase institutional deliveries and improve maternal and infant health outcomes in the population. Rates of deliveries in hospitals and maternal health complications such as obstetric fistulas, post-partum hemorrhage, sepsis, as well as neonatal outcomes. 1 Year No
Secondary Effectiveness of financial incentives to maternity care private providers for improvements in the clinical quality of services in the providers' patient populations and the catchment areas they serve. Indicators of quality of services include monitoring of the fetal heartbeat, active management of labor, and monitoring of cervical dilation and effacement. 1 Year No
Secondary Effectiveness of financial incentives to maternity care private providers for improvements in maternal and infant health outcomes in the providers' patient populations and the catchment areas they serve. Indicators of improvements in maternal and neonatal health outcomes include reduced incidence of maternal morbidity outcomes such as obstetric fistulas, excessive post partum bleeding, sepsis, hospital readmission, as well as neonatal outcomes. 1 Year No
