Section 3: Conclusions and takeaways
Welcome to Section 3: Conclusions and takeaways!
Jodie Pearlman, Research Fellow & PhD Candidate, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
Jodie wraps up Section 3 with key takeaways on how to construct violence variables in the VACS data:
VACS are cross-sectional, nationally representative household surveys
VACS contain a range of health, violence and sociodemographic data
There are five key steps to constructing violence variables in the VACS: 1) population, 2) type of violence, 3) perpetrator, 4) timing, 5) numerator and denominator
You can create many different variables for physical, sexual and emotional violence, and school-related gender-based violence
This is the end of Section 3. We hope you’ll continue to Section 4, the last section of this course, in we will look at a range of ways VACS data have been used to inform program and policy action.
We welcome your feedback about this course. Please submit any feedback on Section 3 and on your learning journey so far.
