UniServices is about to embark on the next and critical stage of the GUiNZ longitudinal study – the 14 Year data collection and checkpoint. UniServices would like to secure an external provider to outsource the fieldwork of the 14 Year Checkpoint, with the view to developing a longer-term partnership for future data collection waves and bespoke projects.
The 14 Year Checkpoint will take place between mid-November 2023 and end of June 2024 with the following phases:
Phase 1: Pilot 14 Year Checkpoint
- Mid to late November 2023: Review and refinement of the current GUiNZ 14 Year Checkpoint Research Plan , including enhancements and innovation to increase cohort completion
- 27 November – 10 December 2023 : Qualitative and quantitative fieldwork for the pilot cohort using a mix of focus groups, online questionnaires and in-person delivery both in the homes of participants and their whānau and/or in community spaces such as maraes and churches.
- Early-Mid December 2023: Analysis of the pilot qualitative and quantitative data for learnings and recommendations; adaptation of the GUiNZ 14 Year Checkpoint Research Plan to include in the data collection to the full cohort.
Phase 2: 14Y Checkpoint Data Collection
- Mid-February-End May 2024: Roll-out of the revised Research Plan across the full cohort
- June 2024: Data cleaning, a Completion report and workshop (including recommendations (innovation, engagement, and process) for future fieldwork and data collection wave closeout. (Note: data analysis will be conducted by GUiNZ)
We are looking for an experienced provider to help us deliver on this critical phase in a way which:
- meets our core objectives, including:
o maximising cohort retention and engagement across the study with particular focus on Māori and Pacific participants
o ensuring the study continues to provide robust scientific evidence about child development in New Zealand
- while recognising the criticality of:
o timely performance for each stage (need to collect data while the participants are 14 Year age)
o securing the long term/ongoing relationships with participants. In particular acknowledging the age of the rangatahi and the nuances required to keep them engaged for future research when they will provide their own consent at 16 to continue to participate
o meeting the ethical and privacy requirements and expectations.
