| dc.description.abstract | This paper used data from the Global Early Adolescent Study (GEAS) to provide a descriptive analysis of how early adolescents’ social environments vary by sex across diverse cultural settings.The analyses were based on baseline data among 10e14-year old adolescents living in disadvantaged urban areas in seven sites: Kinshasa (DRC), Shanghai (China), Cuenca (Ecuador), Lampung, Semarang and Denpasar (Indonesia), and Flanders (Belgium). Except in Kinshasa where face-to face interviews were used, data were collected using self-administered surveys on mobile tablets. Social environments were measured by examining factors within five main domains, including the household and family, school, peers, neighborhoods, and the media. Site-specific descriptive analyses were performed, using Chi square tests and Student T-tests to identify sex differences in each site. | en_US |
