Preferences for Sexual Health Services Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults in the United Kingdom, 2023
No full textSexual health is integral to overall well-being, yet the needs and desires of middle-aged and older adults are often overlooked. This study aimed to understand the sexual health service preferences of adults aged 45 and older to enhance service accessibility in the UK. We conducted a Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) in three stages: concept elicitation, refinement, and implementation. Attributes and levels were determined through 22 semi-structured interviews, followed by pilot testing. The DCE survey was implemented using Qualtrics XM with conjoint project features. We employed a random parameters logit model to estimate attribute importance and level preferences, and a latent class model to identify groups with similar preferences. The analysis included 200 responses (62.5% female, 35.5% disabled, 26.0% sexual minority; median age was 53). Service utilisation preferences were primarily influenced by delivery mode (Relative Importance (RI): 32%), location (RI: 18%), and cost (RI: 16%). Participants preferred face-to-face interactions at sexual health clinics and showed a willingness to pay for private services. Extra support and consultation style had minor impacts. No preference differences were found among disabled people, while sexual minorities preferred conventional messaging. Middle-aged and older adults prioritise face-to-face consultations at sexual health clinics over cost considerations. Aligning service delivery with these preferences could significantly improve the accessibility and uptake of sexual health services for adults aged 45 and older in the UK

Dataset from: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and associated risk in rural South Africa: a population-based cohort study
No full textThe African Research on Kidney Disease (ARK) Consortium is a multicenter partnership between Malawi, South Africa, Uganda, and the United Kingdom. The study sites for the ARK Consortium are nested within population cohorts hosted by the Malawi Epidemiology and Intervention Research Unit (MEIRU), the Medical Research Council/Uganda Virus Research Institute (MRC/UVRI) and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) Uganda Research Unit; and the Medical Research Council/Wits University Rural Public Health and Health Transitions Research Unit, South Africa. Our primary objectives were to determine chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence (estimated from serum creatinine) and identify associated risk factors

HIGH Horizons - Healthcare Worker Baseline Study: Transcripts of IDIs in South Africa
No full textThis dataset contains the transcripts of 15 in-depth interviews (IDIs) conducted in November 2023 to May 2024, in antenatal, postnatal, labour and neonatal wards of a regional hospital and community health centre in South Africa., all within the context of the healthcare worker baseline study of HIGH Horizons. The IDIs explored healthcare workers' perceptions of working in elevated temperatures on well-being, productivity, mood, and quality of care. The topic guide for our in-depth interviews with health care workers is available (see uploaded Supplementary File 1, also included in our peer-reviewed journal article). The full dataset will be uploaded once all data analyses have been performed and the dataset is made 'as close as needed' (because of the personal and sensitive data)
