Methodology

The study made use of three research methods, namely survey, focus interviews and key informant interviews.

Filipino youth aged 15 to 30 living in Metro Manila across socioeconomic brackets served as the primary units of analysis.

Data gathering protocols included determining respondents through multistage sampling. Fifty barangays were randomly selected.

Eight participants from each barangay were determined through the computation of the  interval based on the total number of residents per barangay to ensure proper representation. Ma. Angela Teresa  G. Sebastian
