    Abstract

    The aim of this formative research was to explore current health service provision for adolescents and young people (10-24 years old) in rural KwaZulu-Natal and to identify potential areas for improvement of services. The specific objectives were: (1) to summarise government health policy in relation to young people and the services that should be available (2) to document the primary health care services that are available to young people (3) to document health service utilisation by young people (4) to document and assess the appropriateness of the locations where young people could potentially access health services (places they congregate or meet) (5) to explore facilitators and barriers to health service uptake by young people (6) to outline a proposal to develop and test the impact of an intervention to improve health service utilisation by young people. The study methods comprised qualitative interviews with young people, health workers and key stakeholders (District officials, local leaders, parents/guardians), participatory mapping by young people of their communities, and a retrospective health record review. The data available are both qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative data comprise anonymised and de-identified transcripts, audio-recordings, interview summaries, drawings, and notes from spiral walk observations. Quantitative data comprise (1) health register review data captured in the field on REDCap forms: main variables are age, gender, presenting condition, treatment given, screening of learners, referrals (2) District Health Information System (DHIS) adolescent health indicator data for the 17 PHCC in Mtubatuba and Hlabisa sub-districts for the period May 2016-September 2016. (3) ClinicLink data for 11 PHCC and one hospital linked to the AHRI population intervention platform for the period Jan-Dec 2017: main variables are age, gender, reason for attendance.

    Data processing

    Data Editing

    Transcribed data were translated into English and iteratively analysed for themes using content analysis. A deductive and inductive organising framework was used to organise the data and to develop codes and themes. After familiarisation with the interviews, three researchers (BN, LSM, NN) and fieldworkers conducted initial open coding independently. These were reviewed by two co-authors (JS and AD). Themes were determined by the content of the interview guides combined with an inductive development of codes as they emerged from the data

    Data Access

    Access conditions

    The representative of the Receiving Organization agrees to comply with the following conditions:

    1. Access to the restricted data will be limited to the Lead Researcher and other members of the research team listed in this request.
    2. Copies of the restricted data or any data created on the basis of the original data will not be copied or made available to anyone other than those mentioned in this Data Access Agreement, unless formally authorized by the Data Archive.
    3. The data will only be processed for the stated statistical and research purpose. They will be used for solely for reporting of aggregated information, and not for investigation of specific individuals or organizations. Data will not in any way be used for any administrative, proprietary or law enforcement purposes.
    4. The Lead Researcher must state if it is their intention to match the restricted microdata with any other micro-dataset. If any matching is to take place, details must be provided of the datasets to be matched and of the reasons for the matching. Any datasets created as a result of matching will be considered to be restricted and must comply with the terms of this Data Access Agreement.
    5. The Lead Researcher undertakes that no attempt will be made to identify any individual person, family, business, enterprise or organization. If such a unique disclosure is made inadvertently, no use will be made of the identity of any person or establishment discovered and full details will be reported to the Data Archive. The identification will not be revealed to any other person not included in the Data Access Agreement.
    6. The Lead Researcher will implement security measures to prevent unauthorized access to licensed microdata acquired from the Data Archive. The microdata must be destroyed upon the completion of this research, unless the Data Archive obtains satisfactory guarantee that the data can be secured and provides written authorization to the Receiving Organization to retain them. Destruction of the microdata will be confirmed in writing by the Lead Researcher to the Data Archive.
    7. Any books, articles, conference papers, theses, dissertations, reports, or other publications that employ data obtained from the Data Archive will cite the source of data in accordance with the citation requirement provided with the dataset.
    8. An electronic copy of all reports and publications based on the requested data will be sent to the Data Archive.
    9. The original collector of the data, the Data Archive, and the relevant funding agencies bear no responsibility for use of the data or for interpretations or inferences based upon such uses.
    10. This agreement will come into force on the date that approval is given for access to the restricted dataset and remain in force until the completion date of the project or an earlier date if the project is completed ahead of time.
    11. If there are any changes to the project specification, security arrangements, personnel or organization detailed in this application form, it is the responsibility of the Lead Researcher to seek the agreement of the Data Archive to these changes. Where there is a change to the employer organization of the Lead Researcher this will involve a new application being made and termination of the original project.
    12. Breaches of the agreement will be taken seriously and the Data Archive will take action against those responsible for the lapse if willful or accidental. Failure to comply with the directions of the Data Archive will be deemed to be a major breach of the agreement and may involve recourse to legal proceedings. The Data Archive will maintain and share with partner data archives a register of those individuals and organizations which are responsible for breaching the terms of the Data Access Agreement and will impose sanctions on release of future data to these parties.
