Data Architecture to Support Real-Time Data Analytics for the Population-Based HIV Impact Assessments

Abstract

Background and Setting: Electronic data capture facilitates timely use of data. Population-based HIV impact assessments (PHIAs) were led by host governments, with funding from the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, technical assistance from the Centers for Disease Control, and implementation support from ICAP at Columbia University. We described data architectures, code-based processes, and resulting data volume and quality for 14 national PHIA surveys with concurrent timelines and varied countrylevel data governance (2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020).Methods: PHIA project data were collected through tablets, pointof-care and laboratory testing instruments, and inventory management systems, using open-source software, vendor solutions, and custom-built software. Data were securely uploaded to the PHIA data warehouse daily or weekly and then used to populate surveymonitoring dashboards and return timely laboratory-based test results on an ongoing basis. Automated data processing allowed timely reporting of survey results.Results: Fourteen data architectures were successfully established, and data from more than 450,000 participants in 30,000 files across 13 countries with completed PHIAs, and blood draws producing approximately 6000 aliquots each week per country, were securely collected, transmitted, and processed by 17 full-time equivalent staff. More than 25,600 viral load results were returned to clinics of participants' choice. Data cleaning was not needed for 98.5% of household and 99.2% of individual questionnaires. Conclusion:The PHIA data architecture permitted secure, simultaneous collection and transmission of high-quality interview and biomarker data across multiple countries, quick turnaround time of laboratory-based biomarker results, and rapid dissemination of survey outcomes to guide President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief epidemic control.

“…The construction of the IMS evaluation model can be divided into four sections, including sample data analysis, neural network evaluation model construction, neural network selection, and functional measurement and evaluation (Metz et al, 2021). The main contents of the sample data analysis section include data collection, data cleaning, sample data expansion, normalization processing, and classification processing (Zhang et al, 2021).…”

“…The data is also subject to social desirability bias. The age of sexual consent in Ethiopia is eighteen [ 15 ]. Youth younger than 18 years of age may not disclose their prior sexual activity or engagement in HIV testing services to avoid any cultural stigma associated with engaging in sex before the age of consent.…”

“…The questionnaire assessed for the biobehavioral factors related to HIV infection, including sociodemographic factors, reproductive history, sexual activity, HIV testing and the utilization of HIV care and treatment services, and attitudes towards HIV disclosure. Data from household and individual interviews were collected using mobile tablets and were stored on a central server [ 15 ].…”
