Research Partner: Nutrition International, James Lee (indiv. consultant), CQR, BRAC.
Research type: Qualitative
Duration: January 2020 to November 2020
Project has three phases. 2 phases completed and last phase halt by the NI due to COVID-19
situation. During this time interim findings have been submitted to NI
Project Objectives:
The overall objective of this research is to determine whether there are alterations to the
standard IFA question set that could improve the accuracy of information gathered through nutrition surveys. Under this
the overall objective, the research has the following goals:
- Understand what kinds of elaboration and explanation, if any, are already being offered to
respondents by interviewers in order to make the standard questions
understood. Are these already effective? What are the limitations of these strategies? - Identify areas in the standard IFA question set that frequently present difficulty for Bangladesh
respondents to understand. Are these the same as those identified in
Senegal? - Identify specific revisions to the questionnaire that, if piloted in Bangladesh, would be
likely to improve the validity of data collected in Bangladesh. - Understand better how the passage of elapsed time is conceived of and discussed by respondents —-especially their time pregnancy. Does the concept of the trimester employed by the standard question set have meaning for mothers? Are there other terms or concepts that are more commonly used or accepted?
