Description

The Learning Initiative on Norms, Exploitation and Abuse (LINEA) is a cluster randomised controlled trial (CRCT) of an intervention (radio drama and curricula) which aims to prevent age-disparate transactional sex in Tanzania. There is a quasi-experimental, non-randomised, component which aims to estimate impact of the intervention on community-wide social norms. This dataset contains the responses to a structured survey conducted at baseline before randomisation to and implementation of the LINEA intervention, among general populations of girls/women and boys/men aged 13 years and over. The surveys covered topics including socio-demographics, schooling, sexual behaviour, receipt and giving of gifts in the context of sex, attitudes to violence, and attitudes to age-disparate transactional sex.

Methods

Description of data capture

Participants for the cross-sectional survey were sampled using multi-stage sampling; first sampling wards within selected study districts, then by randomly selecting streets, then households within those streets (random selection of the first house, systematic thereafter). Individual structured interviews were conducted in person by trained interviewers, with the aid of tablet devices (questionnaires programmed in ODK). 599 women and 600 men participated, whose data are included in the datasets. Data cleaning steps included checks for duplicate IDs, missing data, verifying age of respondent, consistency checks across related variables, and checks for correct application of questionnaire filters. The dataset was anonymised with each record assigned a unique numerical ID.
