 This study found that patients who did not receive direct benefit transfer, DBT, a government-funded program designed to provide financial support to people living below poverty line, had significantly higher odds of having unfavorable treatment outcomes compared to those who received it. Additionally, patients reported that the assistance provided through DBT was insufficient to purchase nutritious food throughout the duration of their treatment. Program functionaries also noted that the lack of a bank account was the main barrier to receiving DBT. To improve treatment outcomes, the authors suggest providing a monthly nutritious food kit with increased assistance under DBT. This article was authored by Jigna D. Dave and Mihir P. Rapani.
