The poor health outcomes experienced by mothers and children in the developing world have been well known for decades, but practical, society-wide solutions remain elusive. By evaluating projects that seek to improve health through different channels in diverse contexts, this research program seeks to identify four such solutions. These projects are united not only by their goals, but in their rigorous methodology: controlled experiments of social programs. Project I examines the causal effect of fundamental drivers of demand for health services in Bangladesh. This project will trace the causal impact of education, age at marriage, and women's control over resources on women and children's outcomes by studying the long run implications of a program with three main parts: incentives to delay marriage, education support, and livelihood training. Project II assesses whether village-level incentive can foster collective action to improve demand for and access to health services. It examines the impact of a government program in Indonesia, Generasi, under which villages receive an annual block grant conditional on the village's performance on each of the 12 targeted health and education indicators. Project III examines how corruption can be controlled when subsidizing health product in a context of low demand. It will evaluate the impact of prices on the take up and usage of free insecticide treated bed nets and water purification kits and examine the impact of prices on corruption. It will then evaluate three interventions to reduce this corruption: auditing; market competition, and community empowerment. Project IV examines the impact of a catastrophic health insurance scheme offered by a microfinance organization to its clients in India, which covers hospital delivery. The project will study the impact of this program on the take up of institutional delivery, and on the impact of health shocks on household economic welfare. It will compare the impact of this program with that of a government program that gives women financial incentives for institutional delivery.

发展中国家的母亲和儿童经历的健康状况不佳已经很好 数十年来闻名，但实用的，整个社会的解决方案仍然难以捉摸。通过评估试图 通过不同情况下的不同渠道改善健康，该研究计划试图确定四个 这样的解决方案。这些项目不仅与他们的目标相结合，而且与他们严格的方法论结合在一起： 社会计划的受控实验。 项目I研究了孟加拉国对卫生服务需求的基本驱动力的因果关系。 该项目将追溯教育，婚姻年龄以及妇女对资源的控制的因果影响 关于妇女和儿童的成果，通过研究一项计划的长期含义，该计划具有三个主要部分： 延迟婚姻，教育支持和生计培训的激励措施。 第二次项目评估乡村级的激励措施是否可以促进集体行动，以提高对和的需求 获得卫生服务。它检查了政府计划在印度尼西亚，属的影响 哪些村庄获得了每年的块赠款，以村庄的表现有条件 有针对性的健康和教育指标。 项目III研究如何在较低的情况下补贴健康产品时如何控制腐败 要求。它将评估价格对接收和使用自由杀虫剂治疗的床网的影响 和水净化工具包并检查价格对腐败的影响。然后将评估三个 减少这种腐败的干预措施：审计；市场竞争和社区授权。 项目IV研究了小额信贷提供的灾难性健康保险计划的影响 向印度的客户组织，涵盖医院分娩。该项目将研究这一点的影响 关于机构交付以及健康冲击对家庭经济的影响的计划 福利。它将将该计划的影响与为妇女提供的政府计划的影响进行比较 用于机构交付的经济激励措施。
