Description
Three rounds of data were collected to evaluate the gendered impacts of COVID-19 in Bangladesh, Kenya, and Nigeria as part of a Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Project under investment INV-017300. The timing of the data collection is as follows: Round 1 (November 2020 – January 2021), Round 2 (March – April 2021), and Round 3 (November 2021 – January 2022). The survey and human subject participation was reviewed by the local Institutional Review Board committees at the National Health Research Ethics Committee of Nigeria (NHREC) in Nigeria (NHREC/01/01/2007), BRAC James P. Grant School of Public Health at BRAC University in Bangladesh (IRB-13 October ’20-043), and Maseno University Ethics Review Committee in Kenya (MSU/DRPI/MUERC/00906/20). The study was also authorized by an Institutional Review Board committee at Simon Frasier University in agreement with Arizona State University (FWA 00009102; IRB Registration Number: IRB00000128) and the University of Hong Kong. The interviews were performed over mobile phones, and the sampling frame achieved through extension of a previous survey in Bangladesh and Random Digit Dial (RDD) methods in Kenya and Nigeria. We roughly targeted 1,200 women and 800 men at baseline. Respondents in the African countries were surveyed if: 1) they were at least 18 years old; 2) they expressed a willingness to be resurveyed in the future and provided follow-up contact information; and 3) they spoke one of the languages familiar to the enumerators on the team. Mueller et al. (2022) provides greater detail on the survey design, sample characteristics, and the national representativeness of data collected via RDD.
