The dataset contains information on individuals who attended private sector drug shops in Uganda. It is part of a study to investigate the feasibility of introducing RDTs to Ugandan drug shops in order to promote the rational and correct use of ACT drugs when managing cases of malaria. The research team assessed how drugs were being prescribed in both drug shops and public health services, as well as the way local communities sought treatment.
