Leveraging Survey Research to Include Tanzanian Girls’ Perspectives in Policy Making: A Vignette Methodology
摘要
Levison and Boligrien present a long overdue and much needed vignette survey methodology aimed at capturing the views and perspectives of girls and boys in the Global South with the intention of giving youth influence and voice in policy making. Their work provides a crucial model for research that demonstrates, using examples from pilot studies in Tanzania, how this methodology can be used to inform policy makers about girls’ views on the very programs and laws affecting adolescent sexuality and pregnancy. Capturing girls’ perspectives in survey data and summarizing them in reports that can be disseminated widely is one way that girls’ views can begin to influence policies and programs that are directed at them.
