We undertook a secondary analysis of data from an intervention comprising training of health workers, facilitation, supervision and face-to-face feedback, to assess whether it reduced inappropriate use of antibiotics in children with non-bloody diarrhoea and no co-morbidities requiring antibiotics, compared to a partial intervention comprising didactic training and written feedback only.
The data source and indicator used will depend on data availability, the purpose of the research (e.g., to provide a community with descriptive data versus evaluation of an intervention), and, in many cases, community support for the research to facilitate access to archival data or cooperation in primary data collection efforts.
From 2008 to 2012, Cote d'Ivoire sought to improve the use of national health data through an intervention that broadens participation in and builds links between data collection and decision-making processes; identifies information needs; improves data quality; builds capacity to analyze, synthesize, and interpret data; and develops policies to support data use.
A further limitation of our analysis might be the use of data from both arms of an intervention study for comparison of baseline and follow-up data.
Acceptability of interventions to household members; we will review any qualitative data regarding the acceptability of an intervention to members of the household in the study although we will only seek quantitative data as part of the search process.
Thus, collection and reflection of outcome data are also parts of an intervention and can influence the change process [ 11].
Clearly no single approach will reliably yield all the studies that have data on adverse effects of an intervention.
Only three articles are based on data collected as part of an intervention evaluation; six articles were based primarily on personal experience.
This study will provide prospective data on the effects of an intervention to prevent childhood obesity in children at high risk for obesity due to ethnicity, income, and maternal body mass index (BMI).
Our proposed study will provide prospective data on the effects of an intervention to prevent childhood obesity in children at high risk for obesity due to ethnicity, income, and maternal BMI.
