The problem
Intervention: Neighborhood Method: an adapted household survey using primary and secondary reporting in which female respondents report on physical violence and rape affecting themselves, household members, and women and children in their social networks
Who it was tested with: 1,180 women reporting across four humanitarian settings: Ethiopia/Somalia, Liberia, Sri Lanka, and Uganda; data on 3,744 females in respondent households and 15,086 in neighboring households.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Primary female adult respondents disclose incidents of physical violence, intimate and non-intimate partner rape for themselves, other females in their homes (standard reporting) and other women and children in their social networks (secondary reporting)." The study uses statistical comparison of prevalence estimates from both reporting methods across multiple humanitarian contexts to determine if secondary reporting produces comparable results to standard survey approaches.
Study does not assess ethical or safety implications of secondary reporting method; results indicate general comparability of prevalence estimates but may not clarify whether secondary reports identify the same specific incidents; reliability between independent reporters was moderate rather than high for some comparisons.
