In 2011, Chile added 12 mandatory extra weeks of maternity leave (ML). In January 2015, a pay-for-performance (P4P) strategy was included in the primary healthcare system, incorporating exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) promotion actions. The COVID-19 pandemic led to healthcare access difficulties and augmented household workloads. Our aim was to evaluate the effect of a 24-week ML, the P4P strategy, and COVID-19 on EBF prevalence, at 3 and 6 months in Chile. Aggregated EBF prevalence data from public healthcare users nationwide (80% of the Chilean population) was collected by month. Interrupted time series analyses were used to quantify changes in EBF trends from 2009 to 2020. The heterogeneity of EBF changes was assessed by urban/setting and across geographic settings. We found no effect of ML on EBF; the P4P strategy increased EBF at 3 months by 3.1% and 5.7% at 6 months. COVID-19 reduced EBF at 3 months by - 4.5%. Geographical heterogeneity in the impact of the two policies and COVID-19 on EBF was identified. The null effect of ML on EBF in the public healthcare system could be explained by low access from public healthcare users to ML (20% had access to ML) and by an insufficient ML duration (five and a half months). The negative impact of COVID-19 on EBF should alert policy makers about the crisis's effect on health promotion activities.

Objectives: To evaluate the long-term effects of pay-for-performance (P4P) care in the geriatric population with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Design: Retrospective longitudinal cohort study.
Setting And Participants: A total of 6607 propensity score-matched pairs of patients with newly diagnosed T2D who received either P4P care or standard care as identified from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2019.

Background: Albuminuria testing is an easy way to identify, early on, a higher risk of cardiovascular and renal kidney morbidity and mortality in patients at-risk. In France, the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio is an indicator for Remuneration for Public Health Objectives (pay-for-performance P4P) for patients with diabetes or hypertension. These tests must be performed annually by general practitioners (GPs), but are not sufficiently performed, although drug therapies depend on them.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of pay-for-performance (P4P) programmes on healthcare in Taiwan.
Study Design: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: A systematic literature search was performed using the PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane review, Scopus, Web of Science and PsycINFO databases up to July 2023.
Background: Substance use disorders (SUDs) have a serious adverse impact on the physical and mental well-being of people with HIV. Previously, using a 39-site dual-randomized type 2 hybrid trial design, findings from the Substance Abuse Treatment to HIV Care Project supported the Implementation and Sustainment Facilitation (ISF) strategy to improve implementation and effectiveness of a motivational interviewing brief intervention (MIBI) for SUD within HIV service settings across the United States (US). Building on this trial, this parallel cluster-randomized type 3 hybrid trial aimed to test the incremental effectiveness of a pay-for-performance (P4P), a form of the "alter incentive/allowance structures" strategy.

- Substance use disorders (SUDs) negatively affect individuals living with HIV, prompting research into effective interventions, particularly a motivational interviewing brief intervention (MIBI) in HIV service settings.
- A study was conducted with 26 HIV service organizations to test the effectiveness of a pay-for-performance (P4P) strategy alongside other implementation methods, aiming to enhance MIBI delivery and client outcomes.
- The results indicated that while P4P significantly increased MIBI implementation and quality, it did not lead to a reduction in days of substance use, highlighting the complexities of improving substance use treatment within HIV care.
