are in this order.
The first is a Facility sheet gathering all the data for all facilities. There is then a
retrospective sheet for all patients (Retro. all pts) and an exit sheet for all patients (Exit all
pts.). These are followed by two more retrospective sheets, one for new patients who had
been on ART for 3 or fewer months, and one for experienced patients who had been on ART
for more than 3 months (Retro. new, Retro. experienced). There are then two more exit
interview consolidation forms also for new and experienced patients. (Exit new, Exit
experienced).
