Brief Summary

This study aims at providing insights into Universal Health Coverage and evaluates the impact of I-PUSH program on maternal healthcare utilization, financial protection and women's empowerment, as well as to evaluate the impact of the LEAP training tool on community health volunteers and women's health literacy including their knowledge, behavior and uptake of respective services.

Detailed Description

The study will use a three-pronged approach: year-long weekly Financial and Health Diaries, Baseline and Endline surveys, and qualitative interviews. The Diaries and the Surveys will be carried out in two Counties, Kakamega and Kisumu (Kenya). The qualitative interviews will be carried out in the two counties and in Nairobi as an additional county. The study will use a cluster randomized control trial design in Kakamega to evaluate the impact of I-PUSH program. In Kisumu, selected households will be followed-up to capture the health-seeking behavior, health insurance, and health expenditure pattern of households over time. The study will be initially for 17 months and will continue for three years subject to additional funding.
