BASELINE MEASURE
The baseline measure is very simple - ask the boys and young men.
There are twenty-five questions that boys are asked to respond to on a five-point scale.
Once the questionnaire has been explained by an educator, it takes boys, on average, ten minutes to complete this task.
The questions are grouped around five standout themes from the TBS research
Voice
Influence
Interdependence
Belonging
Being a Boy
