Description
The uploaded data were collected through a cross-sectional questionnaire study, undertaken between November 2016 and March 2017, as part of the CROss Country UltraSound Study (CROCUS). The questionnaires were adressed to obstetricians/physicians and midwives/nurses providing pregnancy and delivery services to women in Rwanda (N=907). Data were collected at 108 health facilities located in both rural and urban areas of Rwanda, including provincial, referral, district and private hospitals as well as health centres. The questionnaire included items on socio-demographic characteristics, ultrasound resources and training, self-rated skills with ultrasound, and views on what may improve utilisation of ultrasound.
