Description:
This report uses a realist review, which is a theory-based method, to address the questions of why and how certain rural retention interventions work better in some contexts and fail in others. The report provides strong support for the assertion that a bundle of retention strategies should be used in order to successfully attract and retain health workers in remote and rural areas and provides insight into why interventions that were effective in one setting may or may not produce similar results in another.
