Primary data for a cluster-randomised trial of community-led delivery of HIV self-testing in Malawi (HIV Self-Testing Africa [STAR])

The dataset was generated as part of a cluster-randomised trial, with group village heads as the unit of randomisation, of community-led delivery of HIV self-testing in Malawi. There are two datasets: (1) endline data that describes individual-level characteristics and outcomes reported in an endline survey; (2) health facility data that details cluster-level antiretroviral therapy initiations collected post-intervention at health facilities, with corresponding population data. These data underpin the analysis of primary and secondary outcomes reported for the trial.
