In Sections 4 and 5, details are presented on the setup and implementation of the data collection and processing tools, especially the custom dipole antenna.
AH and JM contributed in survey tools adaptation, trainings and supervised implementation of the data collection.
Qualitative studies to assess local implementation of the data collection protocol should be conducted since local variation might damage comparability.
Roadside pilot observations and regular on-site audits were conducted to ensure the safety guidelines and accurate and appropriate implementation of the data collection process.
For the first stage of the implementation, two F-MARC master instructors (1 male, 1 female) delivered a 5-day training course to 22 male and female teachers; these teachers received instruction about the philosophy, structure, content and delivery of the 'FIFA 11 for Health' programme and the implementation of the data collection instruments.
Pre: Pre-implementation; Post: Post-implementation The data collection process was supervised centrally by an experienced Project Manager who frequently communicated with the CRNs to maintain the quality of data collection.
Analyses were performed by a researcher (DHH) who was neither involved in the study implementation or in the data collection, nor in the administrative routine work of the clinic or in patient care.
ETG, CF, and EB were all involved in design and implementation of some of the data collection, as well as interpretation of the results.
AY co-designed and managed the web applications, contributed to the data collection, implementation and analysis.
Independent service delivery and research teams will be responsible for the implementation of interventions and for the data collection needed to analyse the trial outcome.
Although we are still in the data collection and implementation phase of the study, we can share several observations of this work to date.
