In a community-based self-testing program in Malawi, in which HIV self-testing had a high degree of acceptability and accuracy (76% of 16,660 individuals successfully self-tested in the first year, 98% said they would recommend a self-test, and agreement between self-tests and lab tests was 99.3%) a concern elicited by surveys of participants was that of coercion.
Further surveys might explore the use of electronic data collection systems which further simplify the collection of STEPS information, both in terms of acceptability of the methods and accuracy of the data (20).
Participants with diverse wheelchair experience were intentionally selected to obtain perspective from individuals new to MWC use (to determine the acceptability and potential benefit of the EPIC Wheels program) and proficient users (to ensure comprehensiveness and accuracy of the program content).
These systems increase the efficiency and accuracy of localization procedures by decreasing the time taken for completion; they increase the ease of performance, enable production of rapid check films, and therefore increase patients' acceptability of the technique.
The aim of the study is to compare these four rating methods (visual (V), hand (H), faces (F) and Jerrycan (J)) in terms of their acceptability, agreement and accuracy in predicting high scores; to determine whether these methods can be used interchangeably; and to identify which method(s) should be used in research and clinical practice in sub-Saharan African palliative care.
This study was designed to assess the acceptability and the diagnostic accuracy of unsedated ultrathin EGD (uUT-EGD) by using a newly developed 5.2-mm-diameter videoscope compared with unsedated small-caliber EGD (uSC-EGD) by using a 6.5-mm diameter videoscope or sedated conventional EGD (sC-EGD) by using a 9.0-mm–diameter videoscope.
They raise questions about the appropriateness of imposing arbitrary limits on the acceptability of accuracy and precision of cardiac index measurement, suggesting that the percentage error of agreement was only one marker of acceptability of a method.
To determine, in a systematic review, the diagnostic accuracy, acceptability and cost-effectiveness of less invasive autopsy by post-mortem MR imaging, in fetuses, children and adults.
269 274 275 276 Also, when compared to paper based data collection, the use of electronic handheld devices and internet websites has the potential to improve protocol adherence, data accuracy, user acceptability, and timeliness of receiving data.
