An innovative Community Mobilisation and Community Incentivisation for child health in rural Pakistan (CoMIC): a cluster-randomised, controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Infectious diseases remain the leading cause of death among children younger than 5 years due to disparities in access and acceptance of essential interventions. The Community Mobilisation and Community Incentivisation (CoMIC) trial was designed to evaluate a customised community mobilisation and incentivisation strategy for improving coverage of evidence-based interventions for child health in Pakistan.

Methods

CoMIC was a three-arm cluster-randomised, controlled trial in rural areas of Pakistan. Clusters were formed by grouping villages based on geographical proximity, ethnic consistency, and ensuring a population between 1500 to 3000 per cluster. Clusters were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to either community mobilisation, community mobilisation and incentivisation
