Exhaustive questionnaire | Drugs/tobacco | “I think the initial document should be as comprehensive as it could be. And then edit it for common responses.” |
Exhaustive questionnaire | Structure | “If it is known to cause ILD, then it is good to ask…because our knowledge of ILD in Uganda is zero, we don't know anything about it,” “we're just really starting to appreciate it, because people have usually for TB when X-ray is abnormal, so I think as we are still gathering epidemiology we should be given as much as possible” |
Lack of patient knowledge | Drugs | “I have a feeling we are going to not know what people are sniffing. As long as it their friend tells them this works, they'll sniff anything. But what's in there may be difficult to identify.” |
Lack of patient knowledge | Exposures (beryllium, mining) | “they mine anything they find in the ground and sort it out later” (group laughs) |
Lack of provider knowledge | Exposures (swamp cooler) | “I think there are some unfamiliarities to the patient and some to the person asking. Many Ugandans, they may not know these things.” |
Stigma | Illicit drugs and tobacco (pipes, intravenous drug use) | “There are women who have been smoking pipes for other reasons, but they will never say it or accept it. If you ask them in a separate room they will give a different answer.” “Intravenous drug use has a lot of stigma around it, I am not sure how honest people will be.” |
