Houshold Survey

Contents and questions posed in the household survey
The primary objective of the household-based approach is to collect data to better estimate of prevalence rates of child victimization experienced by children under age 15, and to test a comprehensive profile of individual and family risk factors correlating to child victimization. Each questionnaire is divided into sections to be completed by a parent.

Target group
Both children aged 15 – 17 and parents with children aged below 15 were interviewed.

Conducting the parent survey
To ensure that a high response rate was obtained and to facilitate a fairly lengthy interview of about 45 minutes, a face-to-face household interview was adopted. The procedure proposed adopted was a multi-wave, multi-contact approach, aimed at increasing the proportion of respondents willing to co-operate in the survey and the chance of contacting the selected households.

Results of the study
First results will be available in September 2011, a detailed report will be published in 2012. If you would like to be informed once the report is ready, please send a short message to infoanti spam bot@optimusstudyanti spam bot.org.
