A cross-sectional study from April 4th to May 25th, 2025, assessed provider-level implementation fidelity for tuberculosis screening among diabetes patients. The dataset includes survey responses from 94 health providers across 20 public health facilities in Ubungo district, Tanzania. It was created by Edwin Christian Chavala and published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze factors associated with high implementation fidelity based on reported teamwork and self-efficacy scores.
• Model the influence of facility type on screening practices based on the reported association with hospital-level settings.
• Assess provider-level adherence to national TB screening guidelines among diabetes patients based on the reported 83.0% overall fidelity score.

Strengths

• Includes data from 94 health providers, offering a specific sample size for analysis.
• Covers 20 distinct public health facilities, providing a multi-facility perspective.
• Reports specific statistical associations (e.g., aPR 3.60 for hospital-level facilities) derived from a modified Poisson regression model.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is limited to a single district (Ubungo) over a short period (April-May 2025), which may affect generalizability.
