KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation Nigeria Research Data Collection Consultancy

(Vacancy Number KN152)

KNCV Nigeria seeks to engage a consultant or survey firm to conduct qualitative and quantitative data collection for the Impact Evaluation of the Mobile Application for Tuberculosis Screening (MATS).

KNCV Nigeria

KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation Nigeria is a non-profit public health organization firmly equipped with technical and administrative capacity in providing TB, TB/HIV and COVID-19 support services, strengthening TB service delivery platforms, supporting health system strengthening and research in Nigeria. Over the years, our organization has played a pivotal role in innovative interventions and research aimed at enhancing TB detection and improving public health outcomes and has established the KNCV Nigeria Center for Innovation and Research in Disease Control (CRID) to drive our research agenda. The KNCV Nigeria CRID will lead in the implementation of the impact evaluation of the MATS.

Impact Evaluation of the Mobile Application for Tuberculosis Screening (MATS)

Digital health technologies, particularly mobile health applications, have been instrumental in enhancing disease surveillance, improving diagnostic accuracy, and facilitating timely treatment initiation. The Mobile Application for Tuberculosis Screening (MATS) application provides a symptom-based screening approach designed to enhance early detection of TB cases, thus bridging the gap in case notification. MATS help facilitate the referral process of identified TB patients to appropriate treatment facilities, thereby ensuring a continuum of care from identification to treatment.

Rationale for Survey Data Collection Consultant

KNCV Nigeria seeks to engage a consultant or survey firm to conduct qualitative and quantitative data collection for the Impact Evaluation of the Mobile Application for Tuberculosis Screening (MATS).

Purpose of Assignment

The goal of this study is to assess the impact of MATS on TB case notification rates across 6 states in Nigeria. More specifically, the survey seeks to understand the usability, accessibility, and effectiveness of MATS in a  public-private mix healthcare settings in Nigeria.

Key Objectives

The survey firm is expected to contribute to the successful completion of the project as follows:

  1. Study questionnaire improvements through feedback
  2. Training of data collectors/enumerators
  3. Pilot pre-test data collection
  4. Data Collection to include MATs app quantitative data abstraction, Key In-depth interviews (KIIs) and Focus Group Discussions (FDGs)
  5. Work closely with the Study Lead Consultant and Biostatistician to harmonize results of data collection
  6. Cleaned and validated datasets

Specific TOR

The consultant will be required to work within the study period and undertake the following assignments while also meeting the stated expectations from KNCV Nigeria

  1. Study Questionnaire Improvements

This will involve a thorough review of the tools, identifying areas for refinement, and adjusting to improve the clarity, relevance, and comprehensiveness of the questions.

  1. Training of Data Collectors/Enumerators:

To ensure high-quality data collection, the consultancy firm will develop and conduct comprehensive training sessions for all data collectors and enumerators involved in the project. The training will cover the study objectives, data collection protocols, ethical considerations, and the use of the data collection tools, including the MATS app. The firm will be expected to equip the data collection team with the necessary skills and knowledge to carry out their tasks efficiently and accurately in the field.

  1. Pilot Pre-test Data Collection:

Before the full-scale data collection begins, the consultancy firm will conduct a pilot pre-test of the data collection tools. This phase will involve deploying the questionnaires and tools in a small, controlled setting to identify any potential issues or challenges. The firm will analyze the results of the pilot, make necessary adjustments to the tools, and ensure that they are fully optimized for the main data collection phase.

  1. Data Collection:

The core of the consultancy’s work will involve executing the data collection process across the six target states. The firm will be responsible for quantitative data abstraction and qualitative data collection. This includes abstracting quantitative data from the MATS app and conducting Key In-depth Interviews (KIIs) and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with a wide range of stakeholders. In total, we intend to interview 60 stakeholders for Key In-depth Interview, 12 per state (2 TBLS, 2 DOT officers, 1 State Program Manager, 1 State M&E FP, 2 Implementing Partner FP, 2 MATs clients, 2 Linkage Coordinators). 6 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) will be conducted with a minimum of 8 persons per FGD group. Quantitative data is hosted by the National TB Program.

  1. Collaboration and Harmonization:

Throughout the data collection process, the consultancy firm will maintain close collaboration with the central study team, Study Lead Consultant and the Biostatistician. This collaborative approach will be essential to harmonize the results from different data collection activities, ensuring that all data is consistent, reliable, and ready for analysis.

  1. Data Cleaning and Validation:

Once data collection is complete, the consultancy firm will undertake a rigorous data cleaning and validation process. The firm will systematically review the collected data, correcting any errors or inconsistencies, and preparing the datasets for analysis. The final output will be clean, validated datasets that are ready for use in the study’s impact evaluation.

Target States: Six (6) states of Nigeria, 1 per geopolitical zone. Specific states to be determined
