Description

The research aimed to understand how a comprehensive case management GBV response intervention can influence access to care and health and safety outcomes among refugee GBV survivors. To our knowledge, this pilot evaluation is one of the first in a refugee camp setting to evaluate an intervention that aims to respond to violence against refugee women using a task sharing approach. The study used a parallel convergent mixed methods study design. This dataset contains quantitative data collected from female survivors accessing GBV services.

Additional information

The Dadaab GBV Research Team recognises its obligations to share study findings with the communities in which they work for the purpose of learning, research and policy making in the fields of violence and gender-based violence prevention and response in humanitarian settings. The Research Team also recognises its obligation to protect the rights and confidentiality of the study participants and communities. In line with these considerations, the Research Team can only make make the quantitative data available in a de-identified form on a case-by-case basis.

Methods

Description of data capture

A prospective cohort survey of female GBV survivors accessing IRC and CARE services was conducted over a nine-month period (three data collection points, no randomisation or control group). The follow-up surveys were conducted to descriptively assess trends over time in the primary evaluation outcomes and patterns of service use (medical, legal, psychological, etc.) until the close of their GBV centre case files, and to assess the longer-term impact after the close of their case files. The time periods for the cohort were based on the average time women appeared to access services for each new case, feedback from the service providers on the likelihood women would return for an interview, and the limited period (nine months) that data could be collected from survivors. Data were collected on Android tablets and uploaded to a secure server at the end of each day.
