Evaluating a “nearly free hour” for health centers in rural Uganda
REFNo: SS4726ES

This study has four specific objectives: 1. Evaluate the effects of a discounted, group visits window on ODH health centers, including how many ultrapoor patients visit the clinic during the discounted, group visits window. 2. Compare the discounted window to an all-day discount to understand whether a time-limited discount is (relatively) more effective at screening in the UP. 3. Document the extent to which the discounted window cannibalizes revenue by shifting patients from other times of day to the discounted window. 4. Analyze whether discounts encourage earlier treatment for mild/moderate malaria, and correspondingly reduce visits for severe malaria.
