The intervention and comparison groups could each have two arms: one based on the prevalent (presumably facility-based) model of antenatal care; the other providing an enhanced model of antenatal care comprising facility-based and community outreach teams.
Facility-specific variables comprised the facility type (hospital/other), operating authority (government/other) and geographical location (urban/rural).
The sampling frame comprised 555 facilities, including all government-owned facilities, all private facilities that employed at least five staff members, and a random selection of one third of the private facilities that employed three or four staff members.
The quantitative aspect of the investigation comprised a facility and NGO audit and a household survey.
The database is comprised of facility, professional-service, and retail (i.e., outpatient) pharmacy claims from over 85 health plans.
The HFGC members, who are comprised of facility health workers and elected community members, are trained by the CHF co-ordinator.
Data were obtained from the PharMetrics Patient-Centric Database, which is comprised of facility, professional-service, and retail (i.e., outpatient) pharmacy claims from over 85 health plans throughout the United States.
Data were obtained from the PharMetrics Patient-Centric Database, which is comprised of facility, professional-service, and retail (i.e., outpatient) pharmacy claims from over 85 US health plans.
The database is comprised of facility, professional-service, and retail (i.e., outpatient) pharmacy claims from a variety of private insurers, providing healthcare coverage to approximately 15 million persons annually throughout the US.
Each goal requires a different set of skills and resources, which has resulted in an inter-sector and interdisciplinary project team comprised of facilities management staff and behavioral science and engineering researchers.
