The COHESION-I project will evaluate the effects of the co-creation intervention (2016 to 2019) and the co-design intervention (2023 to 2024) on improving (a) health system responsiveness, and (b) patient satisfaction, at the primary health care level, in Peru, Nepal and Mozambique, in relation to chronic diseases (hypertension, and diabetes mellitus), as well as specific neglected tropical diseases. Each intervention has been tailored to the context and characteristics of each one of the aforementioned low- and middle-income countries.
For this quasi-experimental study, three arms were established: the co-creation (2016 to 2019) + co-design (2023 to 2024) arm; the co-design only (2023 to 2024) arm; and the control group (no intervention; usual care). The evaluation will be composed of four types of evaluations: quantitative; qualitative; economic; and process evaluation
