Data collected using cross sectional survey.
Restricting data to variables included in the analysis; renaming variables and labelling; deriving some variables from the raw data (for example, age grouped into two categories and educational attainment derived from variable on highest level of education completed).
Lusaka, Zambia.
The Yathu Yathu endline cross-sectional survey was conducted between April to November 2021
The data were designed with checks for completeness, range checks, cross-referencing checks and consistency checks.
People aged 15 to 24 in two communities of Lusaka, Zambia.
We protected the confidentiality of personal and/or sensitive information by adopting several strategies, including (i) training research team members (research assistants) on strategies for protecting confidentiality, and (ii) ensuring participant identifiers were removed from the data; for example, each row has a unique ID for the individual; other potentially identifiable information – including age and education – are categorised rather than providing the raw data.
