Abstract
Community health centers in Nigeria face challenges in providing effective healthcare services, necessitating methodological assessments to improve service delivery. A randomized controlled trial design was employed, with baseline measurements followed by interventions and outcome evaluations over two years. Statistical models were used to analyse data, incorporating robust standard errors for uncertainty quantification. During the study period, there was a significant increase in patient compliance rates from 45% at baseline to 62%, indicating improved service uptake. The randomized field trial demonstrated promising improvements in community health centre systems, with notable increases in patient engagement and adherence to recommended healthcare practices. Further implementation of these findings should include continuous monitoring and adaptation based on evolving community needs. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p<em>i)=\beta</em>0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
