The Cost Effectiveness of Cash Transfers in Low-Income Countries

The specialists were about 15 percent more effective than the non-specialists but they are the differences and huge. It seems like the most promising version of the intervention is going to be a lay health workers and in groups and that's going to be the most kind of cost-effective version if we're thinking about having the impact.
