Estimating the Burden of Disability From Road Traffic Injuries in 5 Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Protocol for a Prospective Observational Study

Estimating the Burden of Disability From Road Traffic Injuries in 5 Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Protocol for a Prospective Observational Study

Using α value of 0.05, a sample of 320 (based on 20% loss to follow-up 6 months after discharge), and a 0.5 baseline measure adjustment (correlation of repeated measures), the study has 99% statistical power to detect a 0.3 SD difference in the mean disability score between patients without a supportive environment (ie, those who report facing environmental barriers) compared with those with a supportive environment.

Acceptability and Use of Interactive Voice Response Mobile Phone Surveys for Noncommunicable Disease Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance in Rural Uganda: Qualitative Study

Acceptability and Use of Interactive Voice Response Mobile Phone Surveys for Noncommunicable Disease Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance in Rural Uganda: Qualitative Study

So, the questions are asked in a language that you understand, as such you are able to understand everything very well. Almost all UGT participants said that the IVR survey questions were administered in a precise and clear voice, which increased their understanding of questions and hence the quality of data collected. They also mentioned that the questions were administered with clear instructions and sufficient time intervals between questions in a chronological manner.

Paper Versus Digital Data Collection for Road Safety Risk Factors: Reliability Comparative Analysis From Three Cities in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

Paper Versus Digital Data Collection for Road Safety Risk Factors: Reliability Comparative Analysis From Three Cities in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

Although the rapid economic growth seen in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has raised living standards and led to a reduction in many diseases of poverty, increased motorization without an increase in traffic enforcement or improvements in road environments has led to a rise in motor vehicle crashes [2-5].

Using mHealth to Predict Noncommunicable Diseases: A Public Health Opportunity for Low- and Middle-Income Countries

Using mHealth to Predict Noncommunicable Diseases: A Public Health Opportunity for Low- and Middle-Income Countries

Global connectivity to cellular networks can make large proportions of a population accessible through their mobile phones. In response to the increasing NCD disease burden, the intersecting need for NCD data in LMICs and the near-universal population access to mobile phones in a growing number of countries presents an opportunity for public health.

Mobile Phone Surveys for Collecting Population-Level Estimates in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Literature Review

Mobile Phone Surveys for Collecting Population-Level Estimates in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Literature Review

Inherent in this survey modality is the requirement of a literate population, which may be challenging in some LMICs. IVR surveys counter the challenges in SMS surveys by using automated, prerecorded questions. With IVR surveys, respondents interact with a preprogrammed database which contains both questions and a series of preset answers which are linked to a specific numeric key, or numeric response on a touch-tone phone keypad (eg, “Press 1 for Yes”).

Health Surveys Using Mobile Phones in Developing Countries: Automated Active Strata Monitoring and Other Statistical Considerations for Improving Precision and Reducing Biases

Health Surveys Using Mobile Phones in Developing Countries: Automated Active Strata Monitoring and Other Statistical Considerations for Improving Precision and Reducing Biases

Due to invalid sequences that are essentially unavoidable in an RDD, the required sample size should be inflated by dividing with a factor 1-Y, which estimates the proportion of nonworking numbers, to yield the number of random mobile phone numbers to be generated. This factor can be determined by first creating a smaller “test” pool of numbers to determine a likely proportion of real numbers through a practice RDD round.

Evaluation of Mechanisms to Improve Performance of Mobile Phone Surveys in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Research Protocol

Evaluation of Mechanisms to Improve Performance of Mobile Phone Surveys in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Research Protocol

In IVR, users interact with a database programmed with questions and a series of pre-recorded answers to the questions, linked to a specific numeric key or numeric response on a touch-tone phone keypad (eg, “Press 1 if you are male, press 3 if you are female”). The use of MPSs to collect population health estimates in LMICs is in its early stages [5].

Ethics Considerations in Global Mobile Phone-Based Surveys of Noncommunicable Diseases: A Conceptual Exploration

CATI offers the opportunity for a structured questionnaire to be delivered more personably, that is, by a live person who can offer basic clarifications over the phone; however, it is generally more time- and resource-intensive and can suffer from interviewer bias and the previously mentioned social desirability bias.

Moving the Agenda on Noncommunicable Diseases: Policy Implications of Mobile Phone Surveys in Low and Middle-Income Countries

Moving the Agenda on Noncommunicable Diseases: Policy Implications of Mobile Phone Surveys in Low and Middle-Income Countries

Once NCDs are recognized as a current or emerging priority, a country may commission a situation analysis that would provide an in-depth assessment of the NCD burden, risk factors, and existing policy and programmatic responses. Surveys conducted using mobile phones could potentially play a role in generating population level evidence particularly as it pertains to behavioral risk factors and service utilization.
