On average, surveys took about 15 minutes to complete, while interviews lasted about an hour.
All respondents were informed of the purpose of the study and the potential benefits and
risks of participating, and all respondents provided informed consent prior to participating.
The research team noted that the informed consent process was crucial to building trust with
respondents, who were generally wary of discussing these sensitive topics at the outset.
Data was collected on smart phones using the Kobo Collect data collection application.
Qualitative interviews were audio recorded and sent to the project coordinator. Recordings were then immediately deleted from Rohingya researcher phones to ensure the security
of responses. No names or identifying information were collected on survey forms.
Data Analysis
Quantitative data was exported from Kobo Collect and analysed using Statistical Package for the Social
Sciences (SPSS). Data was cleaned and coded, and the Rohingya project coordinator ran the initial
quantitative analysis with support from international researchers. Qualitative data was transcribed
and translated into English. A volunteer team, that included YCR team members and international
volunteers, created a coding framework and coded all qualitative data. Codes were then reviewed
and important themes and exemplary quotes were identified and recorded in code summaries.
