Background• HIV Global Technical Team Meeting
November 2006
• Recognized the need for a comprehensive measure of OVC wellbeing
• Goal: create an instrument which can be used internationally to represent holistic OVC programming that is valid, reliable and practical to administer.

Methodology
•Literature Review
•Expert Statements
•Judging
•Draft tool created
![Page 5: OVC Wellbeing Tool](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052401/56814816550346895db542b6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Tool
• Originally 48 Questions• Self-Report Measure• Likert Scale• Used for Children Aged 13-18
• 10 Domains of Wellbeing – Nutrition and food security – Shelter and environment – Protection – Family – Health
– Spirituality – Mental health – Education – Economic – Community cohesion

Piloting the OWT• 5 country evaluation:
– Rwanda– Kenya– Zambia– Haiti– Tanzania
![Page 7: OVC Wellbeing Tool](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052401/56814816550346895db542b6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Analysis Plan• Data from 890 OVC from the 5 countries• Compare the OWT data to larger evaluation data• Validate OWT against
Hope Scale
• Statistical Analysis:– Cronbach’s Alpha
– Confirmatory Factor
Analysis

Results• Cronbach’s Alpha
• Confirmatory Factor Analysis – Reduced number of items in the scale– 48 to 36

Larger Survey• Based on domains of
traditional OVC intervention• Similar across all five
countries, corresponding to OVC sectoral foci
• Generally strong correlation between larger survey and OWT scores

The Children’s Hope Scale1
– Stable tool shown to have internal consistency, convergent, discriminant and incremental validity
– Children’s hope conceptualized as positive expectations; agency and pathways
– Consistent with various definitions of resilience– 6 point Likert scale– Premise
• Children are goal directed• Higher “hope” → Increasing levels of agency and pathways thinking
– Validated against Children’s Hope Scale, the OWT showed a Spearman’s Rho of p<.01 for both the original long version and the shortened version.

Challenges• Hope Scale Validation
• Translation
• Data scoring in the field
• Health domain revisited
• Future challenge: managing the immense amount of data

Conclusions• OWT now finalized
– Reduced number of items in the tool, now 36 items
– Requires approximately 20 minutes to complete
• End Result: A valid, practical tool to measure OVC wellbeing now exists.

Next Steps• Finish the User’s Guide• Roll out in other countries
(underway)• Continue data analysis to
determine predictive value of OWT
• Ideally, develop a similar tool for younger age groups
