Description

Anonymised notes recorded when performing semi-structured interviews with 32 respondents, considered to be experts on the five types of maternal and newborn indicators (health system and input, care access and availability, quality of care and safety, coverage and outcomes, as well as impact). We included experts in both qualitative and quantitative methods to assess indicator validity. This work was commissioned by the Mother and Newborn Information for Tracking Outcomes and Results Technical Advisory Group (MoNITOR), which functions as a Technical Advisory body to the World Health Organization on matters of measurement, metrics, and monitoring of maternal and newborn health for the Departments of Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health and Reproductive Health and Research.

Methods

Description of data capture

Interviews were conducted during face-to-face meetings (six) or by telephone/Skype calls (25) between December 2017 and November 2018 and ranged between 45 and 90 minutes. Each respondent was interviewed once. Interviews were conducted in English, guided by a semi-structured interview guide (Appendix 1). The interview guide was pre-tested on the first five respondents and modified. The interviews were not recorded. Detailed notes were taken in shorthand during the interviews, transcribed and expanded immediately following the interview. Following each interview, further written materials and publications that were referred to by respondents were exchanged through email correspondence with several respondents.
