A pilot study on the acceptability and safety of collaborative triage and treatment with traditional bonesetters for extremity fracture patients: a stepped wedge, cluster-randomized, controlled trial in rural Tanzania

This pilot, cluster-randomized controlled trial was an interventional study within a larger line of research, called 'Building Bridges for Broken Bones', in which we explore the current background of extremity fracture management in rural Tanzania, as well as the potential role for intersectoral collaboration between formal healthcare and traditional bonesetters. This concerns all data generated for the pilot study, which was published in the British Medical Journal: Global Health, under the title "A pilot study on the acceptability and safety of collaborative triage and treatment with traditional bonesetters for extremity fracture patients: A stepped wedge, cluster-randomized, controlled trial in rural Tanzania". It contains the: - Study protocol - The informed consent forms for adults & children, in English & Swahili - The Castor EDC questionnaire used - The raw, pseudonymized Castor EDC data output - The Rstudio code, used to process and analyze the raw data
