Intervention-specific
Original WEAI (1.0, 1.1)• WEAI 1.0 is the original survey (2012-2013)
– 19 Feed the Future countries collected baseline data
• WEAI 1.1 is slightly modified (2014)
– Changes to wording and response codes– Autonomy questions replaced with vignettes
• Five domains, ten indicators– 1.0 and 1.1 comparable
• Very comprehensive, but long to administer
