Qualitative research toolkit: GAGE鈥檚 approach to researching with adolescents
This toolkit is part of the Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) programme
Abstract
This toolkit is a companion piece to the GAGE baseline qualitative research toolkit and provides the group and individual research tools, all of which are age-tailored (early adolescents, mid/older adolescents and adults), used during the second round of data collection in GAGE鈥檚 longitudinal study. A selection of these could be used to understand different dimensions of adolescent well-being and development trajectories in any given context. For the purposes of the GAGE research programme, this collection of tools has also been designed to mirror the GAGE 鈥�3 Cs鈥� conceptual framework which reflects the close connections between the 鈥�3 Cs鈥�: capabilities, change strategies and contexts. It considers adolescents鈥� multidimensional capabilities and the ways in which these differ depending on age, gender and (dis)ability; the change strategies that are employed by families, communities, service providers, policy-makers, civil society and development partners to promote empowered and healthy transitions from adolescence into early adulthood; and finally the broader meso- and macro-level contexts that shape the enabling/constraining environments in which adolescent realities are played out (Figure 1). Adolescents are situated at the centre of this socio-ecological framework.
This toolkit is an output of the Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) programme.
