Financially incentivized knowledge assessments to improve provider compliance with treatment guidelines: a cluster-randomized controlled trial (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Despite increasing access to health care, under-5 mortality remains high in many parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. Interventions to improve quality of care have mostly focused on additional tra
Comparison of weather station and climate reanalysis data for modelling temperature-related mortality (Publications)
Epidemiological analyses of health risks associated with non-optimal temperature are traditionally based on ground observations from weather stations that offer limited spatial and temporal coverage.
