Description
Summary:This case study deliberates on the use of an exploratory sequential mixed methods approach that sought to explore factors influencing the acceptability of isoniazid preventive therapy among health care providers in selected HIV care clinics in Nairobi County, Kenya. The exploratory sequential mixed methods design is a useful approach for context-specific studies which require the development of a study instrument. The aim of the study was to explore factors influencing the acceptability of isoniazid preventive therapy which would be used to guide the development of a structured tool to quantify the outcome using a set of constructs. We highlight the rationale, lessons learnt from employing this method in this primary research study, and emergent methodological issues experienced. We also reflect on field experiences, ethical considerations in using this design, anticipated challenges, and remedial measures adopted to address and/or mitigate the anticipated issues. While doing this, we shed light on the advantages of using this mixed methods design in similar research involving primary data collection.
