Summary

This study in Nigeria tested whether giving pregnant women cash payments for attending prenatal visits and giving birth at a health facility could improve health outcomes for mothers and babies. Over 36,000 women participated. Some women also received information about their personal pregnancy risks. The goal was to see if these incentives increase use of medical care and reduce deaths.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
conditional cash transfer and risk information
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could reduce maternal and newborn deaths by encouraging more women to use prenatal care and give birth at health facilities.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, not a medical treatment. Results may depend on local context and may not apply to other regions. Cash transfers may not address all barriers to care.
