Our qualitative data

Datasets from our longitudinal qualitative research are not archived in the same way as the survey data because of concerns around confidentiality. If you have questions, please contact GAGE at gage@odi.org.uk.

Protecting the confidentiality of our study children and sites

As part of our ethical commitments, we have guaranteed to protect the anonymity and confidentiality of our study sites and respondents. GAGE is committed to the highest ethical standards to ensure that the vulnerable young people with whom we work are not harmed by our research, and that their rights are protected.

Our approach to ethics is based on DFID’s (2011) Ethics Principles for Research and Evaluation, the Economic and Social Research Council (2015) Framework for Research Ethics, the OECD (2011) Fragile States Principles, and the World Health Organization and Center for Disease Control’s guidelines on researching violence against women and children (2005).

Plans

We are in the process of cleaning the next sets of data to be released by GAGE through the UK Data Service. We will also be fast tracking data archiving for the virtual research in relation to the coronavirus pandemic to support global efforts in capturing the impact of the virus across a wide range of communities in low- and middle-income settings.
