Featured Evidence Base Studies

Within the CommCare Evidence Base, two RCTs --  one in India and one in Tanzania -- demonstrate that clients of community health workers using CommCare have better behaviors and outcomes than the clients of community health workers who don’t use CommCare.

  • An RCT by Mathematica Policy Research in India showed a 73% increase in having at least three antenatal care visits, a 58% increase in consuming 90 Iron-Folic Acid tablets, a 34% increase in modern contraceptives usage, and a 22% increase in immediate breastfeeding (Borkhum, 2015). 
  • An RCT in Tanzania documented a 74% institutional delivery rate for clients whose FLWs use CommCare, compared to a 63% institutional delivery rate in the control group (Hackett 2018).

Over 10 years, scaling CommCare in Uttar Pradesh averted 149,468 neonatal deaths - or a 5.3% total reduction of neonatal deaths (Prinja 2018).

A 2017 study in India found that CommCare is more cost-effective than cholera and typhoid vaccines (Prinja, 2017).

A cardiovascular diseases training for CHWs that took 12 hours with paper took 3 hours with CommCare (Surka, 2014).
