This dataset contains participant responses for a Delphi survey on the integration of tuberculosis services and care. This covers Likert scale and other categorical responses for Round 2 of the survey only. Text responses for Round 1 (which was entirely free-text) and Round 2 (which was partially free-text) have been removed due to the presence of information that cannot be fully anonymized, e.g. through the existence of small groups. These responses are available upon request, subject to provision of relevant ethical approvals.
This dataset contains two tables
Dataset contains responses for questions 3, 21, 23, 25, and 27 of the second round of the Delphi survey.
