Abstract
This dataset contains de-identified transcriptions, the interview guide, and demographic data of participants. Between 01 March 2019 - 31 July 2019, 16 individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with Jamaican women with endometriosis about their experiences with medical practitioners and their support system. The women were residents in Jamaica, West Indies. Each interview is separated with the words "End of Audio_Transcription for Participant #". The transcriptions include participants responding to questions on their experiences before being diagnosed with endometriosis and after. More specifically, the questions focused on how they communicated with the support system, medical practitioners, intimate partners, and colleagues and how those groups interacted with them. Please note the transcriptions are the verbatim responses from the women. Therefore, the transcriptions are presented in both British Standard English and Jamaican patois. The interview guide for this study is located in the file named Interview Guide_Jamaican_Women_Endometriosis. The transcriptions have been de-identified to protect patient identity and the sensitivity of the content. This means that any information regarding the women's names, area of residence, places of hospitalization, names of medical practitioners they saw for assistance, were omitted from the data. Redacted sections were indicated by the use of the word, "de-identified" and square brackets e.g., [de-identified]. To maintain patient privacy, full access to transcriptions will be limited. Demographic data for the participants are in the file Demographics_DataSet_Jamaican_Women_Endometriosis.csv.
