RFI: Integration of Health Services
-----------------------------------
As part of my Master in Community Health I am doing the following re-
search: "Potential benefits and harms of integration in the Health Sec-
tor - a literature review with a focus on integration of services de-
livery at the primary health care level in developing countries".
In one chapter of the dissertation, I intend to present a series of
case studies.
The criteria for considering studies for this review are the following:
- Type of intervention: Any intervention in a developing country aiming
at integrating health services delivery, regardless of whom it was di-
rected at, or in which setting it was implemented;
- Type of outcome measures: At least one measure of effectiveness, or
efficiency, or equity;
- Type of studies: Randomised controlled trials, controlled before and
after studies, interrupted time series.
Descriptive studies will be considered when they contain data about ef-
fectiveness, efficiency or equity outcomes. Studies solely concerned
with programming, operational/technical, administrative or theoretical
aspects, will not be included.
I would be grateful to anyone who could provide me with information on
such studies (published or unpublished material).
Thanks you in advance for your cooperation.
