For the initial baseline study in 2008, students were asked to provide a range of socio-demographic information and participate in a set of experimental economic games that were specifically designed for the project. All students in two experimental economic games: [1] a Dictator Game (DG) where they were asked to allocate an initial endowment between themselves and one of three recipient types (student, patient or impoverished), and [2] a game consisting of a series of pair-wise choices where participants chose between two possible money allocations between themselves and a patient. The game presented various institutions to investigate nurses’ social preferences and the effects of some mechanisms that might affect pro-social attitudes. Economics students in each country were subjected to the same experiments to enable comparison between nurses and “standard” subjects to such games (Thailand= 127, Kenya=55, South Africa=55). As part of the cohort study, nursing students were followed up at one year to record the actual employment status (public vs. private sector, rural vs. urban location). A significant attrition rate reduced the number of nurses who could be interviewed. Only 238 and 177 could be reached for a follow-up interview respectively in Thailand and Kenya. In South Africa, nurses complete a two-year compulsory service, and thus are unable to make a choice until the end of 2010, beyond the period of this study.
