Effective dimensionality and factors affecting crop-livestock integration in West African savannas: a combination of principal component analysis and Tobit approaches por Manyong, Victor M., Okike, Iheanacho, Williams, Timothy O.

“…The incorporation of GIS-derived market factors with household and institutional variables in an econometric model offers new opportunities for assessing patterns of evolution of CLI, comparing results across sites, and targeting recommendation domains objectively. A comparison with results from more common methods of running independent models for individual indicators of CLI shows that this new framework is an effective way of reducing the multiple dimensionality of CLI to gain quicker, well-focused knowledge of the processes of agricultural intensification.…”

Bridging the gap between intent & interpretation: Enhancing survey questions on maternal & child nutrition intervention coverage through cognitive interviewing in India por Ashok, Sattvika, Kim, Sunny S., Avula, Rasmi, Heidkamp, Rebecca A., Munos, Melinda K., Menon, Purnima

“…Data were analyzed for common and unique patterns across the survey questions within the cognitive domains and grouped into challenges. Results: We identified four types of cognitive challenges: 1) Poor retention of multiple concepts in long questions: difficulty in comprehending and retaining questions with three or more key concepts; 2) Temporal confusion: difficulty in conceptualizing recall periods such as “in the last 6 months” as compared to life stages such as pregnancy; 3) Misinterpretation of concepts: misinterpretation of the information being asked; meaning of certain terms such as “animal-source foods” was considered as referring to meat products only and not milk and eggs; scope of intervention using the phrase “talk with you” in referring to counseling was interpreted in different ways by respondents; and 4) Poor understanding of technical terms: difficulty in understanding even commonly-used technical words such as “breastfeeding” and “antenatal care” requiring the use of plain and simple alternative language. …”

“…With a cross‐sectional dataset of 4,080 households from 240 rural communities across 16 districts of Nepal, we used ordinary least squares regression models to first estimate the associations between women's empowerment and LAZ for children 6 to 24 months (n = 1,402; our previous published analysis included all children <24 months of age), using the Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index's Five Domains of Empowerment subindex. We used standardized structural equation models to test whether child DD and/or household WASH mediated the association between women's empowerment and child LAZ. …”
