A mixed-methods quasi-experimental study design was applied to evaluate the evidence-informed intervention implemented by EngenderHealth. Researchers used quantitative and qualitative tools such as facility assessments (medical record reviews, inventories, service statistics, others), provider interviews, exit interviews with women at fistula repair camps, focus group discussions (FGDs), and interviews with a range of key informants, senior health management, and community-based referral agents in intervention and comparison sites. In addition, data from a section of the women’s exit interviews were aggregated with cross-country data from Nigeria to develop, test, and validate a ‘fistula care barrier index’ for women at fistula repair centers/camps.
