Reporting back to communities

Young Lives is an ethical study. Our approach to ethics has been developed collaboratively across the research teams. One of its key elements is reporting back to the communities. With each study round we develop new ways to try to give something back to the communities in which we work.

In this context, we try to provide information about our research findings in order to maintain trust and enable the implementation of the study. Preliminary findings are presented at meetings in a relevant, accessible and locally appropriate way, and one that highlights the usefulness of the data the community is providing.
