Qualitative projects

 

The MDICP has conducted three qualitative projects to provide information that cannot be collected in a short-answer survey about topics covered in the questionnaire as well as to explore other topics. These are:

1) Semi-structured interviews in 1999 with a random sample of MDICP respondents (the Let’s Chat interviews);

3) Small sets of interviews to explore selected topics, including:

• the reliability of male reports of extra-marital partners ("mobile men" interviews),
• sexually transmitted infections other than HIV (STDs), and
• religion.

2) Field journals kept by local observers.

In addition, several qualitative projects were associated with the MDICP: Amy Kaler on the elderly’s perceptions of change and the challenges of introducing new methods of contraception; Enid Schatz on measuring aspects of gender; Linda Tawfik on the timing of the onset of sexual activity and extramarital partnerships.
