- 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.
- A 2015 Mathematica RCT found improved client behaviors among clients of FLWs using CommCare, including a 73% increase in ANC Visits, 58% increase in consumption of iron tablets, and a 36% increase in the use of contraception (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).
