https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wEOHX6VR1UJG8fLvfPvIxfuP__bvmneK/view?usp=sharing
Description: This webinar presents the methodology and feasibility of repeated household and facility phone interviews to measure medicines availability and price. Phone interviews have become increasingly relevant, particularly during the pandemic where physical distancing is critical to keep participants and data collectors safe.
We will use the example of the evaluation of Novartis Access, a price scheme to promote the availability and affordability of non-communicable medicines in Kenya, as an example to illustrate how phone interviews are used to collect and validate data.
Presenters: Paul Ashigbie, BPharm, MPH, DrPH (USA), John Mboya, BSc, MSc candidate (Kenya), and Zana Kiragu, MPharm, MPH (Kenya/USA). Moderated by Veronika Wirtz, co-chair, and Sam Orubu, coordinator of the Medicines in Health Systems Thematic Working Group.
