Myanmar Health Information Privacy Survey with 424 Participants

Khaing Zin Zin Htwe's 2024 survey assesses levels of personal health information privacy concern among 424 participants in Myanmar. Data was collected via an online survey and two private clinics from March to May 2024. The study uses a validated 21-item scale measuring six privacy domains.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between participant age and reported privacy concern levels using the 'aged 45 years or older' and '18–24 years' demographic groups.
• Model the association between self-reported health status ('good health') and high privacy concern using the provided adjusted odds ratio (aOR 3.72).
• Compare mean concern scores across the six measured domains, such as 'Awareness' (mean 5.02) and 'Collection' (mean 3.41).
• Identify factors like 'high health concerns' (aOR 5.26) that predict elevated odds of high privacy concerns via logistic regression.
• Validate the six-domain privacy scale (Collection, Errors, Unauthorized Secondary Use, Improper Access, Control, Awareness) using confirmatory factor analysis.

Strengths

• Dataset includes 424 survey participant records.
• Data collection used a validated 21-item scale measuring six distinct privacy domains.
• Statistical analysis provides concrete metrics like mean scores per domain and adjusted odds ratios for key factors.

Limitations

• Sample size of 424 is modest for broad population inference.
• Sampling via online channels and private clinics introduces urban and educated bias, limiting generalizability to rural populations.
• The 5.5 KB file size indicates a limited scope, likely containing aggregated or summary data rather than raw individual responses.
