Methodology

How was this data collected?

The survey was administered through Yoot, Youth Ki Awaaz's WhatsApp-based polling infrastructure. Respondents were drawn from Yoot's registered panel of young Indians who have opted in to participate in civic surveys. The survey was distributed via WhatsApp broadcast and completed within the WhatsApp interface.

1

Survey design

Questions were co-designed and reviewed for clarity, cultural sensitivity, and response balance before fielding.

2

Distribution via Yoot

The survey was broadcast to Yoot's WhatsApp panel. Respondents completed questions sequentially within WhatsApp — no external link or app required.

3

Data cleaning

Responses were checked for completeness and consistency. Incomplete submissions below 50% question completion were excluded. Responses were anonymised before analysis.

4

Live tracker

Cleaned data is stored in a Google Sheet and queried live by this tracker. The dashboard updates automatically when new data is added to the source sheet.

Limitations

What should I keep in mind?

This data is valuable, but it has limits. Being aware of them helps you interpret findings accurately.

Self-selected panel. Yoot respondents opt in to participate. They tend to be younger, more urban, more digitally active, and more civically engaged than the general Indian youth population. Results are not nationally representative.

Gender skew. Yoot respondents skew male. Findings for female respondents are meaningful but should be compared with caution across demographic cuts where cell sizes become small.

Self-reported data. All responses are self-reported. Mental health perceptions, coping behaviours, and help-seeking barriers may be subject to social desirability bias — respondents may answer in ways they feel are expected or acceptable.

Point in time. This survey captures a snapshot at a specific moment. Findings may shift over time as conditions change.
