Across cases, application of the SESF fared poorly in terms of consistency of use and measurement of categories.
Age was an important factor in consistency of contraceptive and condom use.
In frequentist models stratified by consistency of use, the OR (95% CI) was 0.69 (0.27-1.8) for occasional users and 2.0 (1.0-3.9 1.0-3.9nsistent users.
There was acceptable internal reliability for the four-item BTAT (Cronbach's α=0.708) and the eight midwives who used it showed good correlation in the consistency of its use (ICC=0.760).
There was acceptable internal reliability for the four-item BTAT (Cronbach's α=0.708), and the eight midwives who used it showed good correlation in the consistency of its use when comparing with paired assessments carried out on the same infant (ICC=0.760).
Similarly, resilience was not a predictor of any sexual risk behaviors in anal sex: consistency of condom use in anal sex relations in the previous 2 months (F (5, 52) = 1.37; p = 0.25), age at first anal sex relations (F (5, 113) = 0.59; p = 0.70), and number of anal sex partners during lifetime (F (5, 84) = 0.41; p = 0.84) and in the previous 2 months (F (5, 67) = 0.87; p = 0.50).
Clinical input in this process was particularly helpful in ensuring consistency of terms used to describe clinical signs.
The strength of our study is in the consistency of findings using both SKAP-55−/− primary cells and over-expression or knock-down analysis in different cell lines.
In terms of consistency of data use, two studies estimated costs from primary data, such as administrative registries and databases [29, 33], three utilised secondary costs [27, 32, 34], and a further four studies used a combination of secondary and primary data for costs, mostly complementing any data missing from primary sources with published information [26, 28, 30, 35].
The same approach was used to calculate consistency of condom use in anal sexual intercourse (in the previous 2 months).
