KAP ASSESSMENT

ROUND 2

RESULT OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION

To understand communities’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP), along with their information needs on COVID-19, this KAP assessment was conducted by the Turkish Red Crescent Society (TRCS), with support from IFRC, under the Community Based Migration Programme (CBMP) from 10 to 26 November 2020. This is the second round of the KAP assessment and is a follow up on the first round conducted from 20 July to 12 August 2020. Both assessments were conducted via phone interviews and online consultations/focused group discussions (FGDs) with refugees and local people in 16 TRCS Community Centre locations. Comprising of both qualitative and quantitative data, the assessment targeted 240 individuals in each of 16 community centre locations for phone interview and 321 refugees and local people for 32 FGDs in total. A total of 3,840 individuals have been interviewed over phone. The findings of the assessment are aimed to inform risk communication, behaviour change and community engagement activities.

This overview aims to present the results of the phone interviews in 16 Community Centre locations, as well as key FGD findings and provides an understanding of the context of refugees and local people in this COVID-19 outbreak. The findings are presented separately in the knowledge, attitude, practice, and information needs section. This second round of the assessment also aims to share a comparison of the key results with that of the first KAP data to give an understanding about how the situation has changed or improved over time.

"We would like to ask TRCS to conduct more online discussions or assessments like this one. Through these discussions we are able to voice our concerns and understand what we all lack."
