The problem
Intervention: Population-based survey using two-stage cluster sampling with the Neighborhood Method (surveying respondents about their own households and asking them about their closest neighbor's households)
Who it was tested with: 1,044 primary respondents and information about 4,165 people in neighbors' households in Haiti's Sud Department, approximately 4-5 months after Hurricane Matthew.
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.
"Participants were asked to provide information on their own household composition, as well as the household composition of their closest neighbour (the Neighborhood Method)." The study demonstrates that a practical survey method can measure child separation prevalence after natural disasters, with the Neighborhood Method producing comparable results to direct household reporting, suggesting this approach could be useful for rapid assessments in disaster contexts.
Cross-sectional design with no comparison group. Data collected 4-5 months post-disaster, subject to recall bias. Study limited to one region (Sud Department). Does not establish whether separations were temporary or permanent, or long-term outcomes for separated children.
