1/3/2018 FY 14: Gender-based violence among stateless and national populations in Cote d'Ivoire Data analysis: Quantitative data collected from household surveys were reviewed and cleaned by the JHU study team (AW). The final data set was cleaned using systematic methods to check for and remove inconsistencies or errors. Analyses were descriptive in nature, comparing demographic, health, and GBV data between stateless and national populations and between men and women separately. Because participants were generally matched 1:1 across the stateless and national populations, we did not include additional adjustments for population size or clustering by site location. Variables of interest were tabulated and Pearson chi-squared statistics were calculated to assess for significant differences across stateless and national populations. Ethics approval: Prior to initiation of all qualitative and quantitative data collection, ethical approval was obtained from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Institutional Review Board and the local Institutional Review Board from the Ministry of Public Health National Research Ethics Committee in Cote d’Ivoire. A protocol was developed for data collection to ensure confidentiality and safety, including no requirement to provide names in order to protect participant confidentiality and minimize sensitivity. Participants in focus group discussions were asked to respect the privacy of each participant by not talking about the content of the discussion with other individuals who did not attend the group. The research plan was developed with deliberate attention toward minimizing the risk of harm to participants. The research team members were trained to stop the discussion/interview if a participant appeared to be upset or distressed by participation. All research staff and participating partner organizational staff members were trained to read and review the consent prior to commencing the study and answer any questions from the participants. Steps to be taken to protect the safety and confidentiality of information about all participants included the use of study code numbers for identification, reporting aggregate data only, omitting identifiers on the tapes, transcripts and demographic survey. All study data were stored on a password-protected computer in locked files secured by the research team. No data was shared with individuals outside the research team. All study team members and data collectors were required to complete training and provide a certificate of training in human subjects research prior to data collection. All research team members were trained on the purpose of the study, qualitative or quantitative research methods, human subjects protections and consent, and were required to adhere to institutional codes of conduct and policies prohibiting sexual exploitation and abuse.
