Two years of Rx Kids: What happens when moms get cash during pregnancy?
Two years into Rx Kids, this episode looks at what changes when families get cash before a child is born and through the first year of life. Host Tyler Hall speaks with Dr. Mona Hanna, pediatrician and founder of Rx Kids, and Emma Kelsey, Program Director leading delivery for Rx Kids at GiveDirectly. They explain how the program works, why it starts in pregnancy, and what early results show: nearly all eligible families enroll, prenatal care increases, and rates of prematurity, low birth weight, and NICU stays decline. They also discuss how families use the money and what this model could mean for other communities. Learn more at www.rxkids.org
