An objective of the series is to get the findings out quickly, even if the presentations are less than fully polished. The papers carry the names of the authors and should be cited accordingly.

In set-tings with high illiteracy, self-administered surveys are also impractical. To tackle these issues, this study adapted self-in-terviewing tools for rural-poor contexts and conducted two experiments: one to assess comprehension, and another to compare disclosure of intimate partner violence when questions were asked face-to-face first versus through audio computer-assisted interviewing first. The findings show that despite high illiteracy, respondents can effectively under-stand audio computer-assisted interviewing questionnaires. Additionally, initially answering questions privately via audio computer-assisted interviewing significantly increases subsequent disclosure of intimate partner violence by 41 to 57 percent during face-to-face interviews. This indicates that starting with private questioning enhances openness and consistency in reporting sensitive topics, making it a viable and effective method for improving data collection on intimate partner violence.This paper is a product of the Social Sustainability and Inclusion Global Department.
