FINISH OPTION 1: RESPONDENT DID NOT DISCLOSE ANY VIOLENCE


I would like to thank you very much for helping me. I appreciate the time that you have taken. I realize that these questions may have been difficult for you to answer, but it is only by hearing from [girls and young women/boys and young men] like you that we can really understand about [women’s/men’s health] and life experiences in Malawi.


Here is a list of organizations that provide various types of services that may be of interest to you. Please contact them if you need help.


FINISH OPTION 2: RESPONDENT DISCLOSED VIOLENCE BUT DID NOT MEET THE CRITERIA LISTED ABOVE


I would like to thank you very much for helping us. I appreciate the time that you have taken. I realize that these questions may have been difficult for you to answer, but it is only by hearing from [girls and young women/boys and young men] like you that that we can really understand about health and experiences of violence in Malawi.


From what you have told me, I can tell that you have had some very difficult times in your life. No one has the right to treat someone else in that way. However, from what you have told me I can see also that you are strong, and have survived through these difficult circumstances.


Here is a list of organizations that provide support to people like you who may have experienced violence. Please contact them if you would like to talk over your situation with anyone. You can go whenever you feel ready, either soon or later on.


FINISH OPTION 3: OFFER RESPONSE PLAN TO RESPONDENT

I would like to thank you very much for helping us. I appreciate the time that you have taken. I realize that these questions may have been difficult for you to answer, but it is only by hearing from [girls and young women/boys and young men] like you that that we can really understand about health and experiences of violence in Malawi.


From what you have told me, I can tell that you have had some very difficult times in your life. No one has the right to treat someone else in that way. However, from what you have told me I can see also that you are strong, and have survived through these difficult circumstances.


I wanted to offer you some more immediate help if this would be something you need and want. A counselor can talk to you about the things that have happened to you and/or connect you to other services that might be helpful. If you decide that you would like to talk to a counselor, I would only share the information that you want me to share. As I told you in the beginning, your answers are confidential and I will not share these with the counselor. Would you like to speak with a counselor?

Shape78 YES (CONTINUE TO SERVICE REFERRAL FORM; REMEMBER TO GIVE RESPONDENT LIST OF SERVICES)

Shape79 NO


It is fine that you do not want to speak with a counselor now. I wanted to give you this list of organizations that provide support, legal advice and counseling services to people like you who may have experiences of violence. If you change your mind in the future, please contact them if you would like to talk over your situation with someone. You can go whenever you feel ready, either soon or later on.
