National surveys measure health, nutrition, and economics, but they leave out the daily experiences of those raising children. To implement it, the Early Childhood Center collaborated with <a href=\"https:\/\/plan-2040.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Plan 2040<\/a>, an organization that supports families in the neighborhood. The methodology and findings were presented on October 6 at the Monterrey Campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event was attended by <a href=\"\/en\/health\/guillermo-torre-medicine-through-science\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Guillermo Torre<\/a>, Rector of <a href=\"\/en\/tag\/tecsalud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TecSalud<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/adrianagidi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Adriana Gidi<\/a>, Associate Director of the Center for Early Childhood; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/manuel-p%C3%A9rez-jim%C3%A9nez-8a489514a\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Manuel P\u00e9rez<\/a>, Director of the Center of Early Childhood; <a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=tdjMqeIAAAAJ&amp;hl=es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oscar Tamez<\/a>, Researcher at the Center for Early Childhood; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/perla-idalia-p%C3%A9rez-trevi%C3%B1o-947614137\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Perla P\u00e9rez Trevi\u00f1o<\/a>, Researcher at the Center for Early Childhood; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/marian-g%C3%A1mez-138923138\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marian G\u00e1mez<\/a>, Coordinator of Support for Plan 2040; and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/alejandra-planas-683412115\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alejandra Planas<\/a>, Coordinator of Analysis and Training for Plan 2040.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe most important mission of the <a href=\"\/en?s=center+for+early+childhood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Center for Early Childhood<\/a> is how we make our work actionable for the benefit of the communities,\u201d Torre said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Adapt a Survey to Listen to Early Childhood Caregivers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To identify which concepts, questions, and answers needed to be modified, the team worked with <a href=\"https:\/\/ed.stanford.edu\/faculty\/philf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Philip Fisher<\/a>, the tool&#8217;s leader at Stanford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doing so was no easy task. \u201cWe translated it, contextualized it, and implemented it with the highest methodological and scientific standards,\u201d Gidi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process had <strong>two main stage<\/strong>s. The first consisted of a panel of experts reviewing the questions to assess their relevance, pertinence, and clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, tests were conducted with caregivers. In these tests, they explained in their own words what they understood from each question and their answer choices. This allowed for the identification of unclear terms, potentially uncomfortable questions, and concepts that did not accurately reflect local experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact that the survey was digital added a challenge. Without an interviewer to answer questions, each question had to be understood independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe couldn\u2019t just take the tool and apply it in the community, not only because of basic language barriers, but also because we needed to understand what we really wanted to ask,\u201d Tamez said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, seemingly simple concepts, such as &#8220;caregiver&#8221; or &#8220;healthy eating&#8221;, had to be reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture>\r\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/10\/3.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\">\r\n                <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"414\" src=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/10\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-174621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/10\/3.jpg 750w, https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/10\/3-300x166.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\r\n            <\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Oscar Tamez, researcher at the Early Childhood Center.

Among the women participants, two out of three reported assuming the majority of caregiving tasks, a disparity that persists among those with paid employment. The men, for their part, agreed that their partners were primarily responsible for these tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding how care is organized in this community, about 75% of families reported a configuration in which the father and mother participate as a couple; households with a single caregiver and others in which grandmothers or other relatives share responsibilities are also observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBeyond the numbers, what does it mean to know that a woman takes on more responsibility for household chores?\u201d P\u00e9rez Trevi\u00f1o asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture>\r\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/10\/2.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\">\r\n                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/10\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-174622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/10\/2.jpg 750w, https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/10\/2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\r\n            <\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Perla P\u00e9rez Trevi\u00f1o, researcher at the Early Childhood Center.

Among them, 31% indicated problems paying for basic services such as electricity, water, or gas; 26%, for food; nearly 20%, for internet and communication; 15%, for medical care; and 11%, for housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This burden is also reflected in emotional well-being: symptoms of nervousness, anxiety, or irritability were more frequent among those who assumed a greater part of the care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Future of RAPID MX<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the speakers, one of the main lessons learned from this project is that truly understanding a community requires working hand in hand with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt means being with them, accompanying them, understanding them and raising their voices, really listening to them attentively,\u201d said Manuel P\u00e9rez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working with Plan 2040 was crucial, as the association provided the link with the families of Independencia, whom it supports through home visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne of my dreams has always been to get to the heart of the matter, to understand what those deep needs are that they have,\u201d Planas shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture>\r\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/10\/1.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\">\r\n                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/10\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-174623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/10\/1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/10\/1-300x165.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\r\n            <\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From left to right: Marian G\u00e1mez, Support Coordinator for Plan 2040; Perla P\u00e9rez Trevi\u00f1o, researcher at the Early Childhood Center; Alejandra Planas, Analysis and Training Coordinator for Plan 2040; and Oscar Tamez, researcher at the Early Childhood Center.
