Quantitative Information Sources
{"Image DocumentName": "Quantitative Information Sources", "Image ImageDescription": "Population-based surveys. DHS (domestic violence module), VAW/G survey, facility surveys. Client exit interviews; provider surveys; clinic observations. Health service statistics. Program statistics. Crime statistics (of poor quality in many LDCs) Behavioral surveillance systems. Data from a variety of sources are used to calculate indicators for monitoring and evaluating GBV programs. These include population-based surveys, facility surveys, health service statistics, qualitative data, and program statistics. Some of these data sources, such as population-based surveys, have been around for a long time and are familiar to most people. Population-based surveys can include a general health survey that includes a module on violence against women (such as the DHS) or one which is focused on this topic alone. The latter is recommended because focused surveys have revealed higher prevalence estimates (and likely less under reporting) than national surveys designed to measure other health outcomes in addition to violence. Population-based surveys provide information on individuals\u2019 knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to GBV. Facility surveys can include client exit interviews, provider surveys, and clinic interviews. Provider surveys can provide information on provider knowledge, attitude and practices related to GBV. Clinic observations gather information about the human and physical resources available in the clinic to fight GBV, on the availability of written protocols related to GBV care, referral and reporting, and on whether the clinic offers emergency contraception. Client exit interviews gather information on clients\u2019 opinions about the services they have received. Health services statistics provide information about clients, for example, the numbers of clients who said yes to screening questions and the number of clients who disclosed GBV and were referred. Program sources of information may come in many different forms depending on program activities and may include case studies related to legal procedures; training records and IEC activities. These sources of data have to do with recording events as they occur. Information may also be obtained from crime statistics on substantiated cases of GBV, prosecutions and convictions; incident-based reporting systems, and homicide reports but these are of poor quality in many developing countries. Youth behavior surveillance systems are also a valuable source of information.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
