Today was one of the most relaxing days at Baylor. After the hard work and success of organizing the focus groups, this day was well needed. Chantal was working on data entry and I reviewed the facility-level survey and distributed the first one to the Senior Nurse after Nobuhle looked over the survey and approved it. I'm glad I was able to play a role in constructing the survey as Nobuhle said that the survey was comprehensive good enough for continued use. The data clerks has began their second round of interviews for cases at RFM Baylor today. We're finally starting to get a bit more cases! I also had a talk with Katharine from CHAI for further technical assistance and updating her on the progress of the project. During the meeting, Dr. Sarah also came in to discuss one of the major limitations to the study: we don't have a representative sample of cases at each clinic since most of our cases are likely to come from the Baylor sites and we have a higher representation of controls in our study, so we have a little bias which is very difficult to rectify because cases are limited and most of the time unavailable, non-reachable, or unwilling to participate within the study. Katherine also recommended places to go and things to do during our trip in Cape Town in 2 more weeks! She was there last week.

Today, I also had time to work on this blog since I know I am super behind! Today I just realized how much I've done in Swaziland and that time flies. I've been here for two months already! I didn't expect for it to take as long as it did to organize my photos because I took over two thousand pictures! I took a lot of the same pictures and then chose the best ones for the blog.
