This page describes the Impact-Scope dimension of the codebook, its categories, and how to tag students' pre-/post-test responses with codes from the Impact-Scope dimension.

Overview

The Impact-Scope dimension is one of four (4) high-level dimensions of the pre-/post-test codebook. Its formal definition is as follows:

Dimension	Description
Impact-Scope	Descriptions about the scale or reach of the technology's impact, including how widely or deeply it affects different communities.

The Impact-Scope dimension has five (5) Level-1 categories: Individual, Community-Group, Country-National, Global, and Unspecified. Some of these categories have lower categories called Level-2 categories. The rest of this page describes all of the Level-1 and Level-2 categories under the Impact-Scope dimension.

The following figure illustrates the hierarchy of the Impact-Scope dimension categories. The full definitions and examples for the categories are described in their respective sections in this wiki. You may also use the wiki navigation on the right sidebar to jump to specific sections of categories.

Coding Data Under the Impact-Scope Dimension

When tagging data with codes under the Impact-Scope dimension, data is tagged with the lowest category level, which could be either Level-1 or Level-2, depending on whether the specific category is an end node. The Level-1 categories and their Level-2 categories (if any) are described in the following sections.

Level-1: Individual

The Individual category is a Level-1 category under Impact-Scope. Its formal definition is as follows:

Level-1 Category	Description
Individual	Impact scale is at the individual level, specific people are identified and/or described.

Individual has no Level-2 categories and can be used directly to tag data.

Level-1: Community-Group

The Community-Group category is a Level-1 category under Impact-Scope. Its formal definition is as follows:

Level-1 Category	Description
Community-Group	Impact scale identifies specific communities and/or groups of people, not specified at the national scale.

Community-Group has no Level-2 categories and can be used directly to tag data. The example excerpts below illustrate statements that can be tagged by this category.

Example excerpts for Community-Group:

• [s24-320e-9]: "For patients, it poses privacy concerns and potential health risks if the data is tempered with."

• [s24-320e-12]: "There is also the probability that shareholders may drop out owing to the security risks, and that Corazon's reputation will be damaged."

Level-1: Country-National

The Country-National category is a Level-1 category under Impact-Scope. Its formal definition is as follows:

Level-1 Category	Description
Country-National	Impact scale is specifically described as affecting an entire country or at a national scale.

Country-National has no Level-2 categories and can be used directly to tag data.

Level-1: Global

The Global category is a Level-1 category under Impact-Scope. Its formal definition is as follows:

Level-1 Category	Description
Global	Impact scale is specifically described as having international and/or cross-boundary implications.

Global has no Level-2 categories and can be used directly to tag data.

Level-1: Unspecified

The Unspecified category is a Level-1 category under Impact-Scope. Its formal definition is as follows:

Level-1 Category	Description
Unspecified	Impact scale is unspecified in the response.

Unspecified has no Level-2 categories and can be used directly to tag data. The example excerpts below illustrate statements that can be tagged by this category.

Example excerpts for Unspecified:

• [s24-320e-14]: "Ability to extend reach to underserved communities, fostering social impact and community engagement."

• [s24-320e-18]: "Collaboration with charitable organizations increases access to advanced healthcare technologies"
