## 1. Purpose and Objectives


### Primary goal of the survey:
This survey had two goals in the context of TGLF’s IA2030 Movement Full Learning Cycle programme (2022): 
1. Provide an asynchronous mechanism for support between peers (participants) and from the TGLF team; and
2. collect and measure programme participants’ value creation stories (VCS) during the programme.


Martin de Laat’s “value creation stories” (VCS) has been used primarily in small-scale, qualitative studies of communities of practice, online forums, and education activities.


This data set includes both quantitative (Likert) and qualitative (open text) responses to the VCS questions, collected over a period of four months (7 March – 20 June 2022) from a cohort that began with 6,185 participants on the start date.


## 2. Population and Sample


The target population were participants of the Geneva Learning Foundation’s Movement for Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030) learning programme. The initial cohort admitted to the programme was 6,185 individuals from 99 countries. Only participants who were formally admitted to the programme received the invitation to complete the survey.


Programme participants were free to choose if and when to report (self-selection), and their responses were not checked against any other measures (self-reporting).


### Languages: French and English


## 3. Survey Design and Methods


Data collection period: 7 March 2022 – 20 June 2022


Between 7 March and 20 June 2023, participants in the Geneva Learning Foundation’s “Immunization Agenda 2030” (IA2030) Movement Full Learning Cycle (FLC) were asked to respond to a questionnaire titled “How are you doing?”.


Participants received a personalized email with the request to share feedback about their experience during the week. The link to share feedback was also included in other reminder and information emails sent in response to participant needs.


The first survey was launched on the 11 of March 2022 and the last at 17 of March 2022, totalizing 15 requests. Participants could answer the survey at any time and as many times that they wished.


 
The group of 6,185 participants grew over the course of the Cycle, as additional participants were able to join the initiative throughout the four-month period.


### Software- or Instrument-specific information needed to interpret the data
- Automated translation of French data was performed using [Google Translate](https://translate.google.com/?sl=en&tl=fr&op=docs)
- Methods used for removing or anonymizing personal identifiers or sensitive information:
- Unique identifier: Unique identifiers were anonymized using MD5 Hashing via the web site [Miracle Salad](https://www.miraclesalad.com/webtools/md5.php.).Unique identifiers can be used to identify respondents who may have answered the survey more than once, at different points in time. This approach provides a method to anonymize sensitive data using MD5 hashing.*Limitation: MD5 hashing is a one-way function; it is not possible to dehash the data and recover the original information.**
- Macros developed in Excel to replace Country names in qualitative responses. (No country information were collected in this survey, but some respondents referred to their specific contexts in their responses.) The macro did not account for typos, in case any country information is found please contact: [research@learning.foundation](research@learning.foundation)


### Data collection start and end dates:
7 March 2023 until 20 June 2023


#### Events or circumstances during data collection that may have influenced results:
No requests for responses were sent during TGLF’s “Term break” between 16-30 April 2022.


## 4. Data Processing and Cleaning


- Incomplete or inconsistent responses: Not cleaned, as respondents were able to opt out of specific sections of survey or skip questions.
- Data transformations or imputations: None
- Treatment of outliers or extreme values: None


## 5. Variables and Measures


The survey included Likert scale questions and qualitative open texts based the conceptual framework for Value Creation Stories (VCS) developed by Wenger et. al. (2011). There are no derived or calculated variables. Items are Likert scale, multiple choice, and open text.


## 6. Data Quality and Reliability
All the responses done before or after the FLC period (7 March – 20 June 2022) were excluded of the sample.


## 7. Data Privacy and Anonymization


### Methods used for removing or anonymizing personal identifiers or sensitive information:
- Unique identifier: Unique identifiers were anonymized using MD5 Hashing via the web site https://www.miraclesalad.com/webtools/md5.php. Unique identifiers can be used to identify respondents who may have answered the survey more than once, at different points in time. This approach provides a method to anonymize sensitive data using MD5 hashing.
- Limitation: MD5 hashing is a one-way function; it is not possible to dehash the data and recover the original information. 
- Macros developed in Excel to replace Country names in qualitative responses. (No country information were collected in this survey, but some respondents referred to their specific contexts in their responses.)

## 10. Ethical Considerations


### Ethical guidelines followed during data collection:
TGLF’s research abides by the principles of the Cantonal Commission for Research Ethics (CCER), the Federal Law on Research on Human Beings (RS 810.30), Swiss Human Research Act (HRA) and the Ordinance on Organisational Aspects of the Human Research Act (HRA Organisation Ordinance, OrgO-HRA)


### Informed consent and participant rights information:
In order to join TGLF’s IA2030 Full Learning Cycle programme, participants had to confirm their agreement to use of their responses “for research, learning, evaluation, communication, and advocacy, in line with the Foundation’s mission”.


Participants were able to opt out of the VCS questions by selecting “No” when asked “Could we ask you five questions about your participation?”. They were informed these questions were asked in order to “share your feedback in the next weekly Assembly”, the weekly synchronous meeting for programme participants. The rationale for sharing such feedback was also explained; “Your contribution will help everyone understand how we are doing as a group, and also help us to better support you.”


Data protection and confidentiality
Consent was requested during the application and submitted of action plan period for sharing data, in line with the Geneva Learning Foundation’s data protection and confidentiality policy.
