Description
The dataset contains information on individuals who attended health facilities and drug stores in Tanzania and received artemether-lumefantrine for malaria as part of a study to assess patient adherence to the medication. Patients were followed up at home to collect data from interviews and from customized electronic monitoring devices (smart blister packs), both of which measured how individuals took their medication.
