Welcome to the Quality Improvement Demonstration Study (QIDS), website!

QIDS, formally known as the Philippine Child Health and Policy Experiment, is a multi-institutional collaboration between the Philippines’ Department of Health, the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, the University of Philippines Economics Foundation, and the Institute for Global Health at the University of California San Francisco and funded by the National Institutes for Health. The primary objective of QIDS is to evaluate the impact of health sector reform initiatives on the health status and cognitive development of children.
