<p>Methods for measuring acceptability is unclear.</p>

40 articles from a systematic review of 1340 publications explore how the acceptability of pharmaceutical interventions for neglected tropical diseases is quantitatively measured. The dataset, created by Claudia Duguay and last updated in May 2026, highlights a lack of standardization, with 9 distinct approaches used across 18 studies on mass drug administration programs. Twenty articles were published in the last five years, between 2020 and 2025.

Use Cases

• Analyze methodological diversity in acceptability measurement based on the review of 40 included articles.
• Identify trends in publication and measurement approaches based on the finding that 50% of articles were published between 2020-2025.
• Compare definitions of acceptability versus coverage/compliance based on the finding that 13 articles conflated these concepts.
• Evaluate the use of thresholds for acceptability based on the nine articles that established them.

Strengths

• Systematic search across five databases identified 1340 articles for screening.
• Includes 40 articles that met specific inclusion criteria for detailed review.
• Highlights a concrete finding: 9 distinct measurement approaches were used across 18 studies with similar implementation strategies.
• Clear temporal context with 20 articles (50%) published in the last five years (2020-2025).

Limitations

• Dataset size is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited raw data.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The data is a review summary, not the primary research data from the 40 articles.
