Before
Phase 1: Intervention and main results
1. Individuals living in local neighborhoods are recruited to participate in the research study. Those who accept to participate are then randomly allocated in treatment and control cohorts.
2. A baseline survey is conducted, covering basic demographics and characteristics, and beliefs / attitudes.
3. Community meetings are conducted for individuals in the treatment group.
4. A post-treatment survey is conducted measuring individuals beliefs / attitudes. A list experiment and an implicit association test are conducted (to measure biases towards insurgents). At the same time lab-in-the-field games are conducted.
Phase 2: follow-up surveys
5. Follow-up surveys will be conducted over-the-phone to track participants' social networks and aspirations across time (whether they kept in touch to people they met in the intervention, whether the found or started seeking for a job after the community meeting, etc.). The idea is to understand the persistence of community meetings. Follow-up surveys are predicted to take place 2, 6 and 10 months after the conclusion of the intervention.

After
Phase 1: Intervention and main results
1. Individuals living in local neighborhoods are recruited to participate in the research study. Those who accept to participate are then randomly allocated in treatment and control cohorts.
2. A baseline survey is conducted, covering basic demographics and characteristics, and beliefs / attitudes.
3. Community meetings are conducted for individuals in the treatment group.
4. A post-treatment survey is conducted measuring individuals beliefs / attitudes. A list experiment and an implicit association test are conducted (to measure biases towards insurgents). At the same time lab-in-the-field games are conducted.
Phase 2: follow-up activities
5. Follow-up surveys will be conducted in-person to track participants', following a format similar to the post-treatment survey of phase 1. The implicit association test will also be conducted. Activities will conclude with the same lab-in-the-field games as in phase 1. The idea is to understand the persistence of the effects generated by community meetings. Follow-up surveys are predicted to take place 3, 6 and 9 months after the conclusion of the intervention.
