| dc.description.abstract | The type of research study This is a qualitative inquiry that has been nested in a multi-site, mixed-methods study comprised of two components: a cross-sectional survey and a qualitative inquiry. Malawi participates in the qualitative inquiry only. The problem Malawi is currently implementing a study on the feasibility of self-sampling and self-testing for SARS-COV-2 under the leadership of the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND) in collaboration with the Helse Nord TB Initiative in the College of Medicine of the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences (KUHES) . No study within the Malawian context have explored the values and preferences of COVID-19 self-testing. Populations' views and perceptions are crucial in leading the discussion around the safest strategies for implementing COVID-19 self-testing. Furthermore, light has to be shed on the different sociocultural specificities that may hinder or accelerate the widespread use of COVID-19 self-testing. | en_US |
