Survey data

This cross-sectional study was done in ART clinics in Jinja district among 206 HIV positive children under five years who had been on ART for at least three months. Data were collected from their caregivers using an electronic questionnaire, in-depth interviews and through record review. Nonadherence was measured using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), that assessed both dosing and timing nonadherence, and by determining the Proportion of Days Covered (PDC) by the medication. A child was considered adherent if they had adherence greater than 95%, to both measures.
