Code for “Climate Change, Hygiene and Health: A research roadmap to climate adaptation” – User Guide

Persistent identifier

10.17037/DATA.00005008

Description

The overall aim of the study was to define a set of research priorities at the intersection of climate change, hygiene and health using a structured and consensus-driven process. This was performed in two stages - the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) method was used to generate an initial set of pertinent research questions, and a survey of global stakeholders was subsequently performed to score them based upon priority. This collection contains the survey questionnaire and R code written to perform data analysis. Survey data itself is covered by a confidentiality requirement that prevents it being shared, however, the study team can answer questions that may arise.

Data collection methods

Respondents were asked to score each question by the four priority criteria - relevancy, answerability, impact, and potential for translation. They indicated their assessment by selecting “Yes” (allocated 1 point), “Maybe” (0.5 points), “No” (0 points), or “Not my Area of Expertise” (excluded from the scoring). The survey was made available in Arabic, English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish, and was open between November 2024 and January 2025.
