Community health workers (CHWs) can supplement professional medical providers, especially in rural settings where resources are particularly scarce. Yet, outcomes of studies evaluating CHWs effectiveness have been highly variable and lack impact when scaled nationally. This study examines if child maternal better existing government CHWs, who perinatal home visitors, receive ongoing enhanced supervision monitoring, compared to standard care.A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted...
Response-adaptive randomization (RAR) has been studied extensively in conventional, single-stage clinical trials, where it shown to yield ethical and statistical benefits, especially trials with many treatment arms. However, RAR its potential benefits are understudied sequential multiple assignment randomized (SMARTs), which the gold-standard trial design for evaluation of multi-stage regimes. We propose a suite algorithms SMARTs based on Thompson Sampling (TS), widely used method...
