Research Methods Prävention
We apply a mixed-method approach, i.e. we combine qualitative and quantitative methods.

We will use data re-analysis, questionnaires, interviews, focus groups and the Photovoice approach.

A total of about 800 women who participated in the offers and 50 decision-makers will be surveyed.

 An essential component of BIG is the participation of the recipients.

Therefore, woman participating at the BIG-offers are members of the research group of NU-BIG and are involved in planning survey instruments and implementing the study.

In addition, the women receive the opportunity to demonstrate the benefits of the BIG project from their point of view.
