The Global Early Adolescent Study (GEAS) is a multi-country study among adolescents aged 10-14 that explores the relationships between gender norms and adolescent health and wellbeing (sexual and reproductive health, mental health, gender-based and interpersonal violence, school retention and healthy sexuality) cross-culturally and across time. The development and implementation of the study began with a narrative process of listening to the voices of young people in 15 countries globally and has been reported in detail elsewhere (https://www.sciencedirect.c…. Subsequently, the study involved the development and piloting of several instruments with approximately 120 young people in each of 14 sites in an equal number of countries on 5 continents, including Shanghai, China; Hanoi, Viet Nam; New Delhi, India; Assuit, Egypt; Nairobi, Kenya; Blantyre, Malawi; Cape Town, South Africa, Kinshasa, DR Congo; Ile Ife, Nigeria; Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, Dar Es Salam, Tanzania; Ghent, Belgium; Edinburgh, UK; Cuenca, Ecuador, Cochabamba, Bolivia; Baltimore, United States. After reanalysis, all measures were revised and repiloted with 75 young people equally divided between the sexes and across 10 to 14 year olds. Three instruments were finally developed including: a measure of gender norms, a 10-module measure of health and social contexts and a vignettes measure of gender equality in relationships. The vignettes measure assesses how young people in a community think about situations differently if a boy or girl is in the lead. As such it measures the gap in perceptions that boys and girls express depending on the sex of the protagonist. The development of the vignettes measure for early adolescents is the focus of this paper.
