Replication Data for: Experimental Evidence on the Long-Run Impact of Community-Based Monitoring

We evaluate the longer run impact of a local accountability intervention in primary health care provision in Uganda. Short-run improvements in health care delivery and health outcomes remained in the longer run despite minimal follow-up. We find no impact on the quality of care or health outcomes of a lower cost intervention that focused on encouraging participation but did not provide information on staff performance. We provide suggestive evidence that informed beneficiaries are more likely to identify and challenge (mis)behavior by providers and, as a result, turn their focus to issues that they can manage locally.

本研究评估了乌干达基层医疗服务中一项地方问责干预措施的长期影响。尽管后续跟踪工作极少，但医疗服务供给与健康结局的短期改善在长期内仍得以维持。我们发现，一项以鼓励参与为核心、未提供医护人员绩效信息的低成本干预措施，对医疗服务质量与健康结局无显著影响。本研究提供的提示性证据表明，知情的受益群体更易识别并质疑医疗服务提供者的失当行为，进而将关注重心转向其可在本地处置的相关问题。
