Researchers affiliated with the India Policy Insights initiative have published the findings of a cross-sectional study in JAMA Network Open that reports there being more variation in maternal and newborn care quality (measured by 11 individual components of care) in smaller, “within-district” geographic areas compared to the district- and state-level, suggesting that “policy around maternal and child health care needs to be designed more precisely to consider district mean and between–small area heterogeneity in India.”
