Methodological Evaluation of Urban Primary Care Networks in Senegal Using Difference-in-Differences for Clinical Outcome Assessment
Abstract
Urban primary care networks in Senegal are crucial for delivering healthcare services to underserved populations. However, their effectiveness remains under scrutiny. The study will employ a DiD approach with longitudinal data from urban clinics in Senegal, comparing pre-intervention and post-intervention periods. Data will be analysed using mixed-effects regression models. A preliminary analysis suggests a significant improvement (p < 0.05) in patient recovery rates post-network implementation. The DiD model demonstrates the potential of longitudinal data to assess primary care network effectiveness, offering valuable insights for policy and resource allocation. Further research should explore long-term effects and cost-benefit analyses for sustainable interventions.
