Chris Blattman, Assistant Professor of Political Science and Economics at Yale and blogger, has released the datasets from his research on war affected youth in Uganda. This is great, original data from extensive fieldwork. Three cheers for Blattman!
SWAY is a research program in northern Uganda dedicated to understanding the scale and nature of war violence, the effects of war on youth, and the evaluation of programs to recover, reintegrate, and develop after conflict. See the SWAY project page for details.
We have now posted the full STATA 10 dataset and replication files.
The data have been cleaned and anonymized, with accompanying codebook. Raw data and cleaning code are restricted, but may be available on request.
The data are collected from three main survey questionnaires:
- Household survey (2005)
- Phase 1 (Males) Individual survey (2005-06)
- Phase 2 (Females) Individual survey (2007)
At present, replication “.do” files (for STATA 10) are included for two academic papers: The Consequences of Child Soldiering, and From Violence to Voting. Replication files for the two UNICEF reports are available upon request, in admittedly unpolished form.
Christopher Albon is a Ph.D. candidate specializing in armed conflict, public health, human security, and health diplomacy.
