The survey covered both treatment and control groups and explored a broad range of topics, including:
In addition to household interviews, interviews with community mayors were conducted to provide contextual information on local conditions and developments.
Maintaining a panel of this scale required repeated contact with thousands of households across more than 100 communities throughout Armenia. Despite the long implementation period and the challenges inherent in longitudinal research, the study maintained an average response rate of approximately 80%, demonstrating MEDIA-MODEL’s capacity to manage complex, nationwide panel studies and maintain respondent participation over time.
