Evaluation of Conditional Cash Transfers to Increase Retention in PMTCT Services in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria
Sponsor: University of California, San Francisco
Summary
A randomized controlled trial will be conducted to assess the effectiveness of conditional cash transfers (CCTs) at increasing retention in prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services specifically, in relation to pickup of ARV drugs for infected mothers, delivery in the hospital setting, and receipt of drugs for exposed infants. Administrative data will be extracted from the All Babies are Equal program and hospital records. At 8-10 weeks after delivery, an endline survey will also be conducted with each participant to provide a deeper understanding of the impact of the CCTs and to assess the reasons for retention in PMTCT services.
