Life history calendars (LHCs) are able to capture large-scale retrospective quantitative data, which can be utilized to learn about transitions of behavior change over time. The Testing and Risk History Calendar (TRHC) is a version of life history calendar (LHC) which correlates critical social, sexual and health variables with the timing of HIV testing. In order to fulfill the need for time-bound data regarding HIV testing and risk of older persons in South Africa, a pilot of the TRHC was performed using a paper fold-out grid format. Though the TRHC study in this format was effective as older persons were able to recall details about their HIV testing and risk contexts, the interview process was tedious as data were collected manually. Development of a tablet application for TRHC study will improve data quality and make data entry and collection more automated. This paper presents the development of the TRHC application prototype in order to collect TRHC data electronically and provides a platform for efficient large-scale life history calendar data collection.
生活史日历(LHCs)能够获取大规模的回顾性定量数据,这些数据可用于了解行为变化随时间的转变。检测与风险历史日历(TRHC)是生活史日历(LHC)的一个版本,它将关键的社会、性和健康变量与HIV检测时间相关联。为了满足获取南非老年人HIV检测及风险的限时数据的需求,采用纸质折叠网格格式对TRHC进行了试点。尽管这种格式的TRHC研究是有效的,因为老年人能够回忆起他们HIV检测及风险情况的细节,但访谈过程很繁琐,因为数据是手动收集的。开发用于TRHC研究的平板电脑应用程序将提高数据质量,并使数据录入和收集更加自动化。本文介绍了TRHC应用程序原型的开发,以便以电子方式收集TRHC数据,并提供一个高效的大规模生活史日历数据收集平台。
