Data for: "How and why does mode of birth affect processes for routine data collection and use? A qualitative study in Bangladesh and Tanzania."

This qualitative research was undertaken within a mixed methods study that developed and tested tools to improve the availability, quality, and use of newborn and stillbirth indicators in Routine Health Information Systems (RHIS); the Every Newborn-Measurement Improvement for Newborn & Stillbirth Indicators (EN-MINI) Tools. The transcripts are from 79 in-depth interviews in Bangladesh (n=44, 1st Sept-21st Dec 2020) and Tanzania (n=35, 21st Feb- 30th April 2023) using a semi-structured interview guide.

The guide was adapted from the 'Assessing Barriers to Data Demand and Use in the Health Sector' tool (Measure Evaluation, 2018). In Bangladesh, district and facility-level participants were selected from both Directorates (DGFP and DGHS) in Kushtia district. The sampling frame included district-level offices (2), Upazilla-level office (1), district hospitals (2), Upazilla health complexes (5), Union sub-centres (3), community clinics (2).
