For this kind of study, I think mixed methods will be the better selection. To get to know the social and behavioral challenges of not using the bednets, a qualitative study should be also undertaken. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions can be utilized to better explore and understand the issues and underlying factors around using…[Read more]

I would like to present point 9 on page 341, “the P value is the chance of our data occurring if the test hypothesis is true”.
This is also a common misinterpretation about P values in hypothesis testing as the direct translation of 0.05 P value to 5% chance of observing the data if the null hypothesis is true. In my understanding, the P value doe…[Read more] -

The idea of relative usefulness in replacing an old technology is not specifically addressed by the TAM. However, as all of my friends discussed, TAM explains the perceived usefulness of a technology significantly influences its adoption. The new technology should enhance the performance to at least the same level as the old one. People will not…[Read more]

Task Complexity: I would start with this one as we mostly experienced it in the real setting. If people have experience with the complexity of completing the task, they would give up easily using the technology. These challenges were related to log-ins and UI design and older people with computer anxiety mostly encounter it.
Accessibility: This…[Read more]

I think the mobility pattern of the respondents can be also one of the confounders in this case. Mobility can differ between age groups based on travel and commuting habits and it will also not be the by-product of age. Mobility can also be associated with the contact pattern as young adults may travel for leisure, commute to work or school, or…[Read more]

Hello bro! I like the empathy that you discussed in adding the control policy of the disease, sometimes we fail to act on it in our interactions and knowing the concerns of the individuals. Another one is that adaptative and collaborative management would be also workable in the COVID-19 pandemic in the country. One of our projects also practiced…[Read more]

It will depend on the situation that is going to share the data. Like in the conversation, I agree that in an emergency or epidemic, we ought to share the data without a doubt and that each patient’s identity should be kept private. If sharing the data could have a detrimental effect on the patient, we cannot do so without that patient’s consent.…[Read more]

I think most of the healthcare settings (both private and public) in Myanmar adopt parallel settings using both paper-based and electronic-based registration in the clinical and public health settings.

Hello Weerapat! I love the idea of investment in anti-corruption education among health professionals and the public. But, I didn’t see it much in my surroundings and believe that one-time sharing is not enough.
