J-PAL’s Health sector focuses on identifying policies and programs effective at improving the reach, quality, and take-up of health services and products. In addition to supporting policymakers in applying evidence from randomized evaluations to their work, sector chairs and staff write
policy insights that synthesize general lessons emerging from the research, condense results from evaluations in
policy publications and
evaluation summaries, and disseminate lessons to policy makers through targeted outreach. The sector also hosts initiatives such as the
US Health Care Delivery Initiative to fund new research.
