  Freelance onderzoeker (pretesting, focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, e-learning)Onderzoek voor het seksuele voorlichtingspakket Lang Leve de Liefde IV:Lang leve de liefde wordt herzien, en kenmerkt zich door een aantal vernieuwingen. Het nieuwe lesprogramma richt zich meer dan eerdere edities op zwangerschapspreventie, preventie van seksuele dwang en homonegativiteit. Daarnaast is het pakket gericht op de onderbouw (klas 2 en 3) van de gehele middelbare school. Tot slot, worden in het herziene pakket ook –optionele- e-learning modules aangeboden. Naast deze inhoudelijke wijzigingen van het pakket, zal er aandacht zijn aan optimale implementatie van het pakket via onder andere een e-coachingsmodule voor docenten.

Evaluatiedoelen zijn: (1) Verbetert Lang Leve de Liefde 4 determinanten en subgedragingen van seksuele gezondheid (onder andere: anticonceptiegebruik, homoacceptatie, hulp zoeken)en (2) verhoogd betere implementatie -via e-coaching- de effectiviteit van Lang Leve de Liefde 4.

  STOP AIDS NOW! University of Amsterdam

  Jan 2013 - Jul 2013

  Researcher

  My master research was focussed on the widely used development approach participatory development in a small scaled SRHR (sexual reproductive health rights) organization in Harare (Zimbabwe). This research was conducted for the University of Amsterdam and STOP AIDS NOW! and included three months of fieldwork, 25 in-depth interviews and three focus group discussions. I argued that by analyzing the process of participation in a community based organization important information can be found, such as why are participants included in a project? What are the reasons for participants to participate? What are reasons not to participate? Who is included and who is excluded? Are there differences between the perspectives and experiences of participants and proffesionals? By analyzing the participation process an organization can adjust their strategies, create new roles for participants and learn more about the needs and issues of participants that were excluded before the research. Moreover organizations can understand why some people from their target group do not want to participate and respond to these reasons. Show less
