Validity of Community-leader Knowledge Sample Clauses

Validity of Community-leader Knowledge. The first objective of this study was to determine the validity of community-level data. Of the comprehensive set of questions asked at both the community and household level, a subset of questions overlapped and is comparable. GS officer responses to community needs were not reviewed with those from the household level for accuracy. There was a need to validate the GS responses from the community-level survey with those of the household to understand if the community leaders’ knowledge represented the true underlying household situation. Valid data are crucial to inform strategic public health priorities immediately following an emergency. • Aim 1: Assess the overall level of agreement between community leader and household response for six survey questions • Aim 2: Assess the level of agreement between community leader and household by individual question The population affected by the nearly three-decade civil war in Jaffna is comprised of long-time residents, recently resettled, and currently displaced. Currently displaced was defined as currently living in an IDP camp. Recently resettled were those displaced after April 2000. Long-term residents were those displaced before April 2000. Relocation and disruption of livelihood due to displacement have been shown to hinder access to and availability of basic needs such as water and food. The second objective of this study was to determine if there was an association between household level of displacement and consistent food and water availability. • Aim 1: Explore the association between household displacement level and consistent food availability. • Aim 2: Explore the association between household displacement level and consistent water availability.
