Abstract
This study investigates the impact of anti-corruption campaigns in China on cesarean section (CS) rates. Using data from Shanxi Province, known for high corruption, the researchers found that anti-corruption campaigns, measured by reduced business entertainment spending, significantly decreased unnecessary CS rates. This reduction was more pronounced among patients with second or later deliveries and affected attending and resident physicians' behaviors, suggesting a change in social norms surrounding corruption in the healthcare sector.
