| Resumen: | High-income countries use cash transfer programs to mitigate poverty, in part to improve the health of low-income populations and potentially reduce their use of public health care. This review synthesizes evidence from studies that employed experimental or quasi-experimental designs to evaluate the effect of cash transfer interventions on health outcomes or health care utilization in high-income countries. Reviews 164 experimental and quasi-experimental studies in high-income countries: More studies report health benefits than harmful effects Common outcomes: fertility, birth weight, self-rated health, smoking, depression Provides replicable approach for systematic reviews and meta-analyses |
