The districts for the endline data collection were selected purposively by the Safe Motherhood Project team to illustrate the range of settings in which the project was implemented.
The HIV care/ART cards belonging to all adolescents who were active in care (have visited the facility in the last 3 months) at the time of data collection were selected and the adherence level at the last visit was extracted.
The first patients available to the investigators at the STI clinic during the week of data collection were selected for interview, after obtaining verbal informed consent that explained the purpose of the interview and assured anonymity of the respondent.
The period of data collection was selected to coincide with the period in which people are most aware of flu and the need for preventive and protective actions.
This approach to data collection was selected as the investigators desired open and honest responses that could potentially have been critical of their employers, working conditions or that may have revealed deficiencies in their own professional practice.
An online survey approach to data collection was selected because it afforded the capacity to efficiently sample a large number of individuals while controlling for extraneous variables that may influence responses to the physical environment (cf., Horton et al. 2010).
After the data collection was complete, seven characteristics were selected for creating airline subcategories (Table 1): geographical region, income group, business model, airline size, ownership, airline quality rating and internet penetration.
Suitable crystals of 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 2c, and 3a for single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis were selected and the data collections were performed using a Bruker Kappa Apex II diffractometer with graphite-monochromatized Mo Kα (λ = 0.71073 Å) radiation at 123.0 1) K. Collect software was used for the data data collection and DENZO-SMN for the processing.
Google says the data collection was legal.
The data collection periods were selected to assess the impact of both local and national initiatives occurring during the study and also to avoid the weeks when junior doctors change jobs to minimise bias due to lack of familiarity with the role (figure 1).
