Key Points

This research evaluates the effectiveness of rural clinics in Rwanda by assessing clinical outcomes using a quasi-experimental framework.
Mixed-methods approach combining quantitative patient outcome measures and qualitative stakeholder interviews.
Utilised regression discontinuity design (RDD) to measure treatment efficacy.
Addressed potential confounding variables using robust standard errors.
Statistically significant improvement in treatment outcomes for patients at clinics closer to the intervention boundary.
Effect size for improved outcomes was $0.5 ± 0.2$ on a standardised patient outcome scale (95% CI).

We only have this paper's title and publication details.

Quasi-experimental design evaluates clinical outcomes in rural clinics, suggesting effective proximity to healthcare facilities improves results.
