How much is enough? Exploring the dose-response relationship between cash transfers and surgical utilization in a resource-poor setting.

Objective: Cash transfers are a common intervention to incentivize salutary behavior in resource-constrained settings. Many cash transfer studies do not, however, account for the effect of the size of the cash transfer in design or analysis. A randomized, controlled trial of a cash-transfer intervention is planned to incentivize appropriate surgical utilization in Guinea.
