LINEA trial longitudinal in-depth interview data with adolescent girls and men

A set of anonymised, longitudinal in-depth interview transcripts from 53 participants: 27 in-school adolescent girls aged 13-15 years and 26 men aged 23-50 years working as motorcycle taxi drivers. Interviewees gave informed consent to participate in the Learning Initiative on Norms, Exploitation and Abuse (LINEA) trial (2023-2026), which evaluated a radio drama and curricula aimed at preventing age-disparate transactional sex (ADTS) in Mwanza region, Tanzania. In-depth interviews were conducted at three timepoints, corresponding to pre-implementation, post-implementation and a one-year follow-up. The interviews contain information on: experiences, attitudes and impacts of the curricula and radio drama, sexual relationships, attitudes towards ADTS, and goals and aspirations.
