Urban Life among Youth in Kisumu Project (ULYKP) - 2007
Data Source- Kenya
- Sub-Saharan Africa
The Urban Life among Youth in Kisumu Project (ULYKP) aims to improve the quality and scope of data collected on sexual relationships and behavior among young people. The study employed a novel survey instrument called the Relationship History Calendar (RHC), which uses a life history calendar format to record detailed, 10-year retrospective information on sexual relationships, fertility, migration, schooling, work, and HIV testing histories. The quality of sexual behavior data captured by the RHC in half the sample is compared to that collected by a standard Sexual Partnership Questionnaire (SPQ), similar to the one used in Demographic and Health Surveys, in the other half of the sample. The study also created a matched partner data set by interviewing recent sexual partners of the respondents.
