Cash for clinic visits: did the benefits last?

NCT ID NCT05709457

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study follows up on a large program in Nigeria where women received cash payments for attending prenatal and postnatal care and delivering in a health facility. Researchers want to know if the positive effects on mother and child health lasted over time and if they spread to other women in the community. The study will track 21,000 women and their children to measure outcomes like facility births, child survival, and immunization rates.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Cash transfer conditional on attending prenatal and postnatal care

What this could lead to

If the benefits of cash incentives persist, this could point toward a low-cost way to improve long-term maternal and child health in low-resource settings.

What could go wrong

This is an observational follow-up, not a new treatment trial. The original program may not have lasting effects, and results may not apply to other regions or populations.
