When Costa Rica launched #PrimaryCare Health Areas, mortality decreased 13% over 9 years. Impact was greater for people age 65+ and with cardiovascular conditions.

#PrimaryHealthCare Fellow @maddypesec explains the natural experiment behind these results.

@RecoveryDoctor @Atul_Gawande @Asaf_Bitton @AriadneLabs @ProSyn Tobacco cessation is very important, and life expectancy is multifactorial. Luckily, #PHC interventions were implemented in a step-wise manner throughout the country, allowing for studies quantifying reduction in mortality from #PHC reforms. Full report: https://t.co/2mFepOPGcB

@bansar_bansaria @Atul_Gawande @HarvardChanSPH @Asaf_Bitton @AriadneLabs @ProSyn Great observation! Both the 1970s and 1990s upwards trends have been linked to #PHC. Dr. Bixby conducted studies to show improvements in #PHC (both in 1972 & 1994) were directly responsible for major decreases in mortality. The full report can be found at: https://t.co/2mFepOPGcB

@MaramMPH @Atul_Gawande @Asaf_Bitton @AriadneLabs @ProSyn @MaramMPH ATAPs, community health workers, provide education to groups individuals, based on needs of their specific communities. education protocols differ between regions in the country, but generally are written by nurses. our report has more details: https://t.co/2mFepOPGcB
