West Bank Youth Cohort Study (West Bank YCS)
The West Bank YCS is an 18-month longitudinal cohort study that examines factors that contribute to participants’ changes in employment, income, education, and attitudes towards violence in the State of Palestine. The YCS includes both quantitative and qualitative data collection efforts. The YCS also incorporates household surveys for a subset of youth in the study. It focuses on youth aged 18 to 25 years, participating in the following five United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-supported Youth Development Resource Centers (YDRCs): Qalqilya, Jenin, Jericho, Hebron, and Nablus. The study cohort is comprised of 1,002 youth who first enrolled in YDRCs between August 2016 and May 2017.
