Results > Estimating the impact of Bolsa Familia; Section 'Results > Estimating the impact of Bolsa Familia', paragraph 2, and Table 2, row 'Model A†'
The ATT from model A was estimated to be 10.58 (95% CI 4.39 to 16.77) (table 2). Thus, among patients with TB who receive BFP, we expect a treatment success rate of 10.58 percentage points higher than if those patients had not received the benefit.
Contexto
What changed: Low-income households received monthly cash transfers from the Bolsa Família programme before case closure. Comparison: Propensity score-matched non-recipient TB patients in CadÚnico with similar socioeconomic and health profiles. Limits: Complete-case matching dropped observations with missing covariates; potential residual confounding or interference cannot be fully ruled out.
