Key Points Question What is the effect of the world’s largest conditional cash transfer program, Bolsa Família (BFP), on maternal mortality? Findings This analysis nested within the 100 Million Brazilian Cohort, including more than 6 million women, found an association of BFP with reducing maternal mortality.
