Methods

Description of data capture

Ahmed Zaidi, Software Engineer with specialization in Project Management (Human Research Development (HDR) Foundation) oversaw the day-to-day data management of the project. The questionnaires were designed by the research team with the help of trial manager and site PI. These questionnaires were developed by the Data Manager (Ahmed Zaidi) using Open Data Kit (ODK) with all the skips and logics according to the requirement. The electronic forms were added into the tablets which were given to the research assessment team. The assessors asked the questionnaires from the respondents (Trial Participants) and filled the forms on the tablets and after completing the questionnaire, sent the forms directly from the field to the database server with the help of the internet. The data was kept in the PostgreSQL database in which different queries were designed to help ensure the data completeness. The data manager (Ahmed Zaidi) kept a check on the forms that came daily on to the server. He used to run different consistency and analytical checks on the data on weekly basis and also kept a record for all the missing forms with their status mentioned. The data reports were generated on weekly basis and feedback was given to the assessors on all the data related issues. These issues were addressed and the data manager made sure that the mistakes are not repeated again during the collection phase. The follow up lists were generated using the Date of Births (DOBs) given by the Lady Heath Workers (LHWs) and these lists were accurately made with the help of different queries and were distributed to the field coordinators who arranged follow up interviews on timely basis. The whole procedure was supervised by the data manager who kept careful log of the dates of follow ups to make sure that the follow up interviews are conducted within the window period. Qualitative data were collected using in-depth interviews among selected Trial Participants. These interviews were collected on paper manually by our intervention facilitators and were supervised by clinical coordinator (Ikhlaq Ahmad). These data are not included in the depository.
