Showing Life Opportunities: Rapid COVID-19 Response Survey 2020 - Ecuador

Abstract
---------------------------

The COVID-19 pandemic closed schools around the world, forcing school systems and students to quickly attempt remote learning. We conducted a rapid response phone survey of over 1,500 high school students aged 14 to 18 in Ecuador to learn how students spend their time during the period of quarantine, examine their access to remote learning, and measure their mental health status.

Geographic coverage
---------------------------

Region 2 of Ecuador covers three provinces: Pichincha, a relatively urban province that includes the capital city of Quito, and two provinces Orellana and Napo that cover the jungle region.

Our sampling frame for the phone survey consisted of 4,163 students in 177 classes in 88 schools in Zone 2 of Ecuador.

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

In partnership with the Ministry of Education of Ecuador, Zone 2 (MINEDUC, Zona 2), we have an ongoing project that aims to teach high school students, in grades 10, 11 and 12, skills relevant for careers in entrepreneurship and science, using an online course called Showing Life Opportunities (DOV for the Spanish acronym) that was taught during class time using computers in schools. To be eligible for our project, schools had to have a reliable internet connection and a computer center with enough computers for one class to study. We cover 126 high schools in Zona 2, and more than 80% of students in the targeted grades. Our sampling frame for the phone survey consisted of 4,163 students in 177 classes in 88 schools. We stratified sampling by treatment status and class, to sample an equal number of students from both treatment arms and include students from all classes.

Response rate
---------------------------

We successfully interviewed 1,552 students for an overall survey response rate of 64.3%. Only 10 students (0.4%) refused the survey, while the rest had phone numbers that were not answered (11.0%), were non-existent (5.4%), or went straight to voicemail (16.8%).

摘要
---------------------------
COVID-19疫情席卷全球，导致世界各国学校纷纷关闭，迫使教育体系和学生迅速尝试远程学习。本研究通过对厄瓜多尔1,500多名14至18岁的高中生进行快速响应电话调查，旨在了解学生在隔离期间的时间分配、考察其远程学习接入情况，并衡量其心理健康状况。

地理覆盖范围
---------------------------
厄瓜多尔第二区涵盖三个省份：皮钦查省，一个相对城市化的省份，包括首都基多市，以及奥雷拉纳省和纳波省，这两个省份覆盖了丛林地区。

抽样程序
---------------------------
与厄瓜多尔教育部第二区（MINEDUC, Zona 2）合作，我们正在进行一个旨在通过在线课程“展示生活机遇”（DOV，西班牙语缩写）教授高中生与创业和科学职业相关的技能的项目。该课程在上课时间使用学校电脑进行教学。为了符合我们的项目要求，学校必须具备可靠的互联网连接以及足以一个班级学习的电脑中心。我们在第二区覆盖了126所高中，并覆盖了目标年级超过80%的学生。电话调查的抽样框架由88所学校中的177个班级的4,163名学生组成。我们按照治疗状态和班级进行分层抽样，以从两个治疗臂中抽取同等数量的学生，并包括所有班级的学生。

响应率
---------------------------
我们成功访谈了1,552名学生，总体调查响应率为64.3%。只有10名学生（0.4%）拒绝接受调查，其余的由于电话未接听（11.0%）、不存在（5.4%）或直接进入语音信箱（16.8%）而未能联系上。
