Data for: Feasibility of village health teams (VHTs) in using a smart phone guided intervention to link older Ugandans with chronic conditions to care

This data collection was produced as part of a feasibility study to determine if Village Health Teams (VHTs) could be effectively trained to use smart phone guided intervention when supporting older people with chronic conditions in the Kalungu district in south-western Uganda. This would involve the use of smart phones to record information on residents and using it to link them to health facilities for the purpose of treatment and care. The collection consists of 20 transcribed interviews, each of which was conducted with a village health team member. Transcripts contain variables on demographic characteristics, activities for VHTs, dealing with older people, linking older people with health problems to care, knowledge on chronic diseases, experiences in using smart phones and willingness to use a smartphone guided intervention in future.
