Transcriptions of Interviews on Public ART Center in Morocco, 2013-2022

Amal Benbella's dataset contains qualitative interview transcriptions from a realist evaluation of the first public assisted reproductive technology (ART) center in Morocco, established in 2013. The study combined interviews with couples, providers, and policymakers with a retrospective clinical analysis of 2,495 couples served between October 2013 and December 2022. The data were used to develop context-mechanism-outcome configurations explaining the center's operation and impact.

• Studying contextual factors like cost and stigma in healthcare access based on described themes.
• Evaluating mechanisms of public health program success like workforce training and governance based on interview content.
• Informing policy for ART service replication in LMICs based on the realist evaluation findings.

Strengths

• Includes data from a 9-year period (2013-2022) covering the establishment and operation of a pioneering public health service.
• Based on a mixed-methods realist evaluation combining qualitative interviews with retrospective clinical analysis of 2,495 couples.
• Clinical outcomes are reported, including a 23.8% pregnancy rate for IVF and a 16.6% live birth rate.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic and institutional bias inherent to a single-center study in Morocco.
