Survey Responses on DMPA-SC Training in Ghana, 2021

192 healthcare worker survey responses from a 2021 implementation study in Ghana, exploring differences in knowledge of the contraceptive DMPA-SC between formally-trained and on-the-job trained workers. The dataset includes quantitative survey results and was created by Chelsey Porter Erlank. It was last updated on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare knowledge scores between training cohorts based on reported overall correct knowledge and recall of self-injection steps.
• Analyze the reported consistency and components of on-the-job training implementation.
• Model factors associated with training satisfaction and knowledge retention using the survey variables.
• Triangulate quantitative survey findings with qualitative interview themes described in the study.

Strengths

• Includes data from 192 healthcare workers across four regions in Ghana.
• Provides specific comparative statistics, such as 59.6% vs 26.4% correct knowledge scores between cohorts.
• Study design includes mixed methods, with survey data triangulated against 32 key informant interviews.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 9.5 KB file size suggests a very limited scope of variables or aggregated data.
