Qualitative data collection and analysis
Upon completion of the programme, post-intervention qualitative evaluation among programme coordinators was conducted to assess strengths and limitations of intervention components and to identify success factors of the intervention as implemented by each country. All interviews were guided by principal investigators and were intentionally designed to be conversational and open. A set of core questions were used to collect information about the country-specific implementation process. The core questions were followed by a survey that gathered feedback on the strengths and limitations of the programme as implemented by each country. All surveys were filled by programme coordinators and staff members appointed by the ministry of health in each country. All interviews were carried out in English, audiotaped following the programme coordinator’s permission, transcribed verbatim in English and analysed using thematic content analysis, a method described by Burnard
