Fieldworkers received training in data collection tools and methods before heading to the selected sites: Ayabaca and Montero, located in the region of Piura in the north of Peru. They will be conducting interviews and focus group discussions, elements of the Community Health Perceptions research component of the project. Their work will be informed by the findings of a community mapping that took place in October 2016, and will be complemented by the insights of a Ph.D. student in Social Marketing from Lugano, Switzerland, who is joining them in the field.
The fieldwork takes place in February 2017, during the rainy season and some challenges lie ahead of the team. However, the team is excited to engage with the communities.
