Ethiopia Client Exit Interviews 2025: Digital vs Paper-Based Counseling Tools

Ethiopian health data from Sidama, Amhara, Oromia, and South Ethiopia regions collected in 2025. The dataset contains quantitative client exit interviews with adolescent girls and young women, qualitative key informant interviews with health workers, and routine health management information system data. It was created by Meghan Cutherell and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Compare counseling comprehensiveness between digital and paper-based tools based on the Method Information Index Plus (MII Plus) metric.
• Analyze client experiences of provider-client interactions based on qualitative interviews with health extension workers and midwives.
• Conduct cost-effectiveness analysis of digital health interventions based on financial and programmatic inputs from PSI and government records.
• Assess regional differences in contraceptive service delivery based on data from 275 health posts and 55 health facilities across four regions.

Strengths

• Mixed-methods design integrating quantitative client surveys, qualitative provider interviews, and routine administrative data.
• Data drawn from a substantial sample of 32 health posts and 11 health centers across nine woredas.
• Sample size for client exit interviews was estimated to yield 80% power to detect a 10-percentage point difference in the primary metric.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the purposive sampling of four Ethiopian regions.
