Data gathered as part of a study in which we explored municipality variation in the design features of Brazil’s National Programme for Improving Primary Care Access and Quality (PMAQ) to examine whether performance bonuses given to family health team workers were associated with changes in the quality of care and whether the size of bonus mattered.
The files include the analysis dataset, the accompanying codebook, and the do-file containing the code used to run the analysis.
Some variables used in the analysis are not publicly available and are therefore not contained in the analysis dataset. The restricted data are: the PMAQ scores for each family health team (our measure of quality of care) and the responses from a survey of municipality managers about performance bonuses (our exposure variables). For these restricted data, we generate placeholder variables using a random number generator to allow the do-file to run. Requests for access to these data should directed at the Department for Family Health: telephone number +55 61 33159044 or email desf@saude.gov.br
