Do Patients Value High-Quality Medical Care? Experimental Evidence from Malaria Diagnosis and Treatment 2016

The datasets (in Stata format) cover the following:

• LSS_info_CSComCensus_clean.dta: A census of the clinics included in the study, carried out in May 2016. Includes information on total reported caseloads, malaria caseloads, clinic testing, and pharmacy capabilities.
• LSS_info_CSComs_Agent_Training_corrected.dta: Dataset that includes the number of staff per clinic who attended the training (administrative records).
• LSS_info_DocPat_analysis_datasets_allcont.dta: Dataset used in the main analysis (at the patient level), collected in enumerator clinic visits (6 per clinic). It includes:
  a. Day-of clinic records: clinic information filled out by the enumerator in the morning of the visit.
  b. In-clinic patient survey: entry and exit interviews with patients at the clinic.
  c. Home survey: home follow-up with subset of patients.
  d. Intervention schedule: treatment assignment for each clinic-day (“official schedule”) (variables with suffix _os).
• LSS_info_DoctorEndlineInterview_allcont.dta: Endline interview with up to three providers (including head of the clinic) treating patients at the clinic that day, carried out after the intervention was concluded in December 2016/January 2017.
• LSS_info_PreTest_Doctors_individual_level_allcont.dta: We administered a pre-training test to all healthcare providers who attended the training. The test included questions on the providers' knowledge of topics covered in the basic training, such as recommended malaria treatments and symptoms of severe malaria.
• LSS_info_PostTest_Doctors_individual_level_allcont.dta: In addition to the variables in “LSS_info_PreTest_Doctors_individual_level_allcont”, the post-training test included topics covered only in the “extended training” treatment.
