However, routine data in many low\u2010 and middle\u2010income countries, including Ghana, are often incomplete, inaccurate, or delayed. Most prior evidence concerns objectively measured data quality in single facilities. Less is known about how healthcare professionals perceive the adequacy of their data\u2010collection methods and collected\u2010data quality. Also, how these perceptions relate to the method used and to prior training is unknown. This cross\u2010sectional study assessed those perceptions and their associations across three Ghanaian hospitals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 574 professionals sampled, 564 responded (98.3%). A pretested questionnaire measured perceptions on five\u2010point scales, dichotomized at a two\u2010thirds cut\u2010off. Associations were quantified with crude and adjusted binary logistic regression (odds ratios with 95% CIs).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Methods were perceived adequate by 67.2% (379\/564) and data quality by 60.1% (339\/564). Training showed the strongest association with perceived method adequacy (adjusted OR: 5.54, 95% CI: 3.66\u20138.39). Electronic methods showed no significant advantage over manual methods in either crude or adjusted models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, training demonstrated a stronger adjusted association with favorable perceptions than the type of data\u2010collection method used. Because the design is cross\u2010sectional and outcomes self\u2010reported, causation cannot be inferred.
