DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE<br />
Distribution of Children by Province and Gender<br />
A total of 354 children participated in the research conducted in four areas (Adana/Mersin,<br />
Ordu, Şanlıurfa and Yozgat) (Table 1). Of these children, 50.6% were girls and 49.4% were<br />
boys. The gender variable was controlled in the sample and importance was placed on an<br />
equal representation between genders. For example, while the participation of girls (54.5%)<br />
in Adana/Mersin and Yozgat is higher than boys (45.5%), the opposite is the case in the<br />
research conducted in Şanlıurfa (girls, 42.7%; boys 57.3%). A problem was experienced in<br />
Yozgat: as mentioned at the beginning of the report, the research in this province was not<br />
completed. Although the research in Yozgat was halted, the questionnaires which were<br />
completed were still included in the comparative study.<br />
