Screening outcome of new referrals made.

<p>Screening outcome of new referrals made.</p

Distribution of correct test responses for individual symptoms, before and after HAT training.

<p>The numbers of people providing an answer for each symptom-association varied between tests. Pre-training (Pre-) test n = 107–113, post-training (Post-) test n = 106–110, post-intervention evaluation (Eval-) test n = 54–55. “Don't know” responses were categorised as incorrect. Fever for 2 days, cough and abdominal pains are not associated with HAT. *McNemar's p-value indicates a significant (p<0.05) increase in correct associations between pre-training and post-intervention evaluation tests.</p

HAT patient screening rates before and after HAT training, by referral route.

<p>PY: Person-years of observation.</p

Proportion of HCWs and facilities who made at least one HAT referral, before and after HAT training.

<p>*An additional 5 HCWs from 4 facilities made HAT referrals after being trained by HCWs who attended the workshop. If only HCWs who were followed-up are considered, the proportion who ever referred for HAT before the training was 25/97 (26.8%) and the proportion who referred in the month before training was 11/97 (11.3%). For facilities, these proportions were 16/49 (32.6%) and 9/49 (18.4%), respectively.</p

Associations between demographic variables and mean test scores.

<p>*For differences by demographic variables in test scores at one time point significant at the 0.05 level, p-values are shown in bold font. Where p-values are not shown (-), numbers were too small for analysis of significance.</p>†<p>Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare mean scores between demographic sub-groups.</p

Numbers and types of peripheral health facilities represented at HAT training and followed-up during the evaluation period.

Numbers of patients in whom new and pre-existing ideas about HAT case detection led to referral after training (n = 54).

<p>*More than one referral rationale could apply to an individual patient.</p

HCW-reported reasons why referred patients did not present for HAT testing (n = 32).

<p>Note: Multiple reasons may be listed for individual patients.</p

Mean overall test scores, before and after HAT training.

<p>*In the pre-training test, 10/123 participants did not complete the test, 97/113 test-takers answered the question for all 14 symptoms. In the post-training test, 13/123 did not complete the test, 97/110 answered all 14 symptoms. In the post-intervention evaluation test, 68/123 did not complete the test, 52/55 answered all 14 symptoms. SD = Standard deviation.</p
