| Summary |
This case study aims to highlight the practicalities in the application of cross-sectional study design, multi-site sampling, and multiple data collection platforms to investigate the role of paternal involvement on female reproductive strategies in an upper middle-income country such as Botswana. In particular, it sketches the sociology of knowledge production as it relates to the use of a cross-sectional design in which sampling takes places in multiple locations while using multiple means to collect data. In our case, we discuss the challenges associated with using both traditional methods for data collection combined with online questionnaire administration as well as how to overcome them. We present the difficulties associated with managing expectations of different stakeholders as they relate to ethics and permissions when researchers collect data at multiple locations within the same country. Therefore, the purpose of this case is also to provide a valuable resource for new and experienced researchers seeking to combine multiple data collection platforms for data collection in multiple locations in an environment where internet access and connectivity may be challenged such as Africa and other parts of the world |
