Impact of the 2012 pharmaceutical co-payment reform on drug consumption among children in Catalonia: Evidence from a regression discontinuity design

Toni Mora

Health Policy, 2025, vol. 161, issue C

One crucial policy tool is the modification of co-payment conditions, which can cause parents to experience more rigid budget constraints and cause reductions in the number of prescription drugs given to their children.
