Evidence from a Difference-in-Differences Analysis","descripcion":"Ghana introduced a sequence of health policies between 1999 and 2019 to accelerate reductions in maternal and child mortality, including the Community-Based Health Planning and Services initiative, the National Health Insurance Scheme, a Free Maternal Care policy, the Ghana Essential Health Interventions Program, and the National Newborn Health Strategy. Prior evaluations have relied on descriptive trend analysis and cross-sectional comparisons, without constructing a credible counterfactual. This paper applies a staggered 2x2 Difference-in-Difference approach to estimate the causal effect of each policy on annual mortality outcomes over the period 1990 to 2023, comparing Ghanas trajectory a","pubDate":"2026-10-24","url":"https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.10.22.26366200v1?rss=1"},"indexado":"2026-10-24T16:44:51.482Z"}}
