Evidence to Action (E2A): Senegal Youth-Friendly Services (YFS) Assessment, 2018

Description

This YFS assessment utilized a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative methods aimed to capture standardized information across six regions (those with the poorest Adolescent and Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health (AYSRH) indicators in Senegal where youth-friendly services are implemented) to assess strengths and weaknesses in currently-offered AYSRH services, gauging the degree to which five quality standards for youth-friendly services (YFS) are being realized from the perspectives of a variety of constituencies (service providers, peer educators, parents, youth who use contraception, etc.) considered essential stakeholders in the delivery of YFS. The six regions were Kaolack, Kédougou, Kolda, Matam, and Saint-Louis, Sédhiou.

21 This dataset captures data collected from 23 SDP management staff/senior health providers on SDP characteristics and service provision, including a review of service statistics from the 12 months preceding the evaluation to assess uptake of youth-friendly health services (YFHS) in Senegal. Six regions were included in this assessment of youth-friendly services: Kaolack, Kédougou, Kolda, Matam, Saint-Louis, and Sédhiou. A total of 12 districts were purposively selected for inclusion in the study, based on the criteria of having at least one YFHS SDP within the district. All known service delivery points that were found to be operating and functioning at the time of the assessment (23) were included in the study. https://datahub.usaid.gov/d/gsqe-f4es
21 This dataset captures data collected from 150 community-based health workers working in AYSRH in Senegal to determine how they conduct outreach and offer services to adolescents and youth. Information on each CBDA’s age, sex, education, marital status, number of children, training in youth-friendly health services (YFHS), amount of time they have worked as a CHW, and amount of time they have resided in the communities where they work was also obtained. Six regions were included in this assessment of youth-friendly services: Kaolack, Kédougou, Kolda, Matam, Saint-Louis, and Sédhiou. A total of 12 districts were purposively selected for inclusion in the study, based on the criteria of having at least one YFHS SDP within the district. https://datahub.usaid.gov/d/s4d6-haum
21 This dataset captures data collected through a household survey from 2,400 young people aged 10–24 years to determine their knowledge and use of youth-friendly health services (YFHS). The study used a multistage cluster sampling design. Twelve districts in six regions in Senegal (Kaolack, Kédougou, Kolda, Matam, Saint-Louis, Sédhiou) were purposively selected for inclusion in the study. In each district, five localities were randomly selected using probability proportional to size; in each locality, households were selected using the point of origin, code of the day method. At the household level, if more than one young person met the inclusion criteria, a list of the eligible youth along with their birthdays was made. The young person whose birthday was closest in the future was selected for participation. https://datahub.usaid.gov/d/b7uc-j7q9
21 This dataset captures data collected from 50 health service providers in Senegal to determine their professional training, the quality and breadth of the services they offer, as well as any challenges they face. Six regions were included in this assessment of youth-friendly services (YFHS): Kaolack, Kédougou, Kolda, Matam, Saint-Louis, and Sédhiou. A total of 12 districts were purposively selected for inclusion in the study, based on the criteria of having at least one YFHS SDP within the district. All known YFHS service delivery points that were found to be operating and functioning at the time of the assessment (23) were included in the study. At least 2 providers were interviewed at each YFHS service delivery point. https://datahub.usaid.gov/d/t293-xygn
21 This dataset captures data collected from 180 clients aged 10–24 years exiting from youth-friendly health services (YFHS) in Senegal to determine their satisfaction with services. Background characteristics (age, sex, education, marital status, and number of children) were also collected. Those interviewed were systematically selected until a maximum of 10 was reached, with purposive efforts to include youth of both sexes and of different age groups. When the maximum number of 10 clients was not reached due to low turnout, other facilities were oversampled to compensate. Six regions were included in this assessment of youth-friendly services: Kaolack, Kédougou, Kolda, Matam, Saint-Louis, and Sédhiou. A total of 12 districts were purposively selected for inclusion in the study, based on the criteria of having at least one YFHS SDP within the district. All known service delivery points that were found to be operating and functioning at the time of the assessment (23) in the 12 districts were included in the study. https://datahub.usaid.gov/d/dsms-euxj
