F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Apps or innovative technologies for collecting survey data from younger adolescents?

Dear colleagues

Can any of you offer examples, experience or advice on the use of innovative technologies for collecting survey data from younger adolescents in the 10-15yrs age range in a longitudinal study? We're looking for innovations such as:

  • Apps or technologies that facilitate tracking of study participants? Eg: Finger prints to link longitudinal data from respondents. Digital photographs & face recognition software?
  • Ways of making survey data more engaging for young people. Are there surveys that have created games to collect data?
  • Using cell phone technology to break a survey into segments of about 20 minutes long and administered monthly over 14-18 months, and then the second round collected after that?
  • Apps that send periodic messages to engage adolescents, eg happy birthday?
  • Are there strategies that use technologies that can answer questions that young people have so that they can get something (like information) in return for their contributions to the research?

Or if you can suggest other forums or people to connect with, that would also be valuable.

Thanks, in advance.

Warm wishes

 Julie

Dear Julie,

I used a google drive tool to make a survey for kids from 10 to 17 years old about resilience and disasters. It was very useful.

Warm wishes

Patricia.
