A set of anonymised transcripts from in-depth interviews conducted with 36 participants (19 female and 17 male) who were social network members of girls and men who participated in the Learning Initiative on Norms, Exploitation and Abuse (LINEA) trial. Interviews were conducted approximately six months after programme implementation, for the purpose of evaluating the radio drama and accompanying curricula that had been designed to prevent age-disparate transactional sex (ADTS) in Mwanza region, Tanzania. The transcripts explore participants’ relationships, discussions on the radio drama and curricula, and reflections on how these conversations may have influenced attitudes, behaviours and norms related to age-disparate transactional sex. Interviews with girls’ contacts included friends, classmates, (step)mothers, sisters and neighbours, while interviews with men’s contacts included colleagues, friends, wives, neighbours, brothers and motorcycle taxi passengers.
