Description

A quantitative and qualitative dataset collected as part of a Combined HIV Adolescent Prevention Study (CHAPS), a joint African-European HIV prevention collaboration running in South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, focusing on young adults (13-24 years old) between April and November 2019. It includes data for young people aged 13-24 years, who were sexually active (engaged in sexual intercourse in the past six months), willing to undergo HIV testing, and had no history of psychological/psychiatric disorder. Data included PrEP preferences, reasons for preference, age, household details, frequency of sex in last month and hours of premeditation before sex.

Methods

Description of data capture

The quantitative data were collected on tablets using Open Data Kit software, by trained research assistants. Qualitative interviews were conducted by experienced social science researchers, who conducted group discussions (GDs) and In-Depth Interviews (IDIs), using a semi-structured topic guide, in a secure and private location that was comfortable for the interviewer and the interviewee. We used STATA version 15 for cleaning and analysis of quantitative data. Participant socio-demographic, sexual risk behaviour, and other variables were summarized using means with standard deviations or medians with interquartile range for continuous variables and frequencies with percentages for categorical variables, all stratified by country. A thematic analysis approach was used to identify, analyse, and interpret patterns of meaning (‘themes’) within the qualitative data. To attain this analysis, data familiarization was conducted, the researchers at each study site read the transcripts several times and made notes of key ideas and recurrent codes.
