Quantitative methods constitute a core aspect of GAGE’s approach to understanding and gathering data on adolescent lives. Quantitative surveys are critical to capture detailed and measurable data on adolescents and their primary caregiver.

Survey modules probe for information in the six capability areas identified in the GAGE conceptual framework – education, health and nutrition, economic empowerment, psychosocial well-being, voice and agency, and violence and bodily integrity; as well as investigating specific components for evaluation research.
