mHealth-Assisted Conditional Cash Transfers to Improve Timeliness of Childhood Vaccinations
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Reminders and Conditional financial transfers for Immunization. Completed, enrolled 412 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Vaccination is a cost-effective strategy for conferring immunity against a host of preventable diseases, however, rates of timely childhood vaccinations remain inadequate in resource-limited settings. We propose to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of mHealth-assisted conditional cash transfers as a means of overcoming individual barriers to timely vaccinations. The study will form the basis for a pragmatic randomized controlled trial of the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of mHealth reminders and conditional cash transfers for improving rates of timely vaccinations among young children.
