The problem
Intervention: Government-led social accountability: giving communities information about health services, with or without facilitation of Village Health, Sanitation and Nutrition Committee (VHSNC) meetings.
Who it was tested with: Communities in two districts of Uttar Pradesh, India, under the Uttar Pradesh Health Systems Strengthening Project..
Children or communities are compared with a group that did not receive the intervention, or followed over years. This is the design that best separates what the intervention did from everything else that changed.
"which also follows a block-wise randomized design" – the word 'also' suggests the 2-district evaluation was randomized with comparison arms, so it is classed as experimental.
The abstract does not give outcomes, sample sizes or effect sizes. The randomized design is implied by the wording, not described in full.
