Research Assistant Training!


Last week was RA training time, full of fun participatory learning activities and pilot testing. First up was the quintessential activity of my focus group, the problem tree. We did a few activities without any maternal nutrition so that we could all start thinking of the activities as ways to learn SOMETHING and not just talk about IFA all day. So this tree shows how people in Patna see causes and consequences of STRESS. A little different than those in Atlanta, I’d bet. Some similarities like traffic and family issues… and some different ones like cricket matches and social violence… This was the week after a noted politician was shot during a demonstration over gas prices and the city was reacting to his death.
