This handbook is designed as a simple, step-by-step guide to effectively administering the Youth Conflict & Tolerance Survey (YCTS) Tool. It has been intentionally brief although the main tasks necessary to use the tool are discussed.
The YCTS tool focuses on conflict and tolerance issues youth confront in three context settings: the home, at school and in the community. It is a 185-item survey instrument divided into 6 sections: (1) Respondent characteristics, (2) Knowledge of conflict resolution skills and attitudes, (3) Types of conflict in the home, (4) Types of conflict at school/education facility, (5) Types of conflict in the community, and (6) General attitudes.
The YCTS tool is designed to be completed either via self-administration (where the youth reads and answers the questions on their own) or via oral administration (where a youth worker or teacher reads each question and the youth answers each question on their own). The YCTS tool is designed for program development (general assessment) and program evaluation (change resulting from program interventions). Change over time is tracked through the administration of the YCTS tool on at least two separate occasions (Time One and Time Two) – using the same survey methodology, the same instrument with the same learners.
