DiSTO Chile

Overview

The DiSTO Chile study adapts, validates and implements the DiSTO project ("from Digital Skills to Tangible Outcomes") in the metropolitan region of Chile.

DiSTO Chile remedies the shortage of information and research on digital inclusion in Chile. The project gathers data on residents of Chile's Metropolitan Region aged 16 and above, aiming to identify the population's digital skills, the use of digital resources and the benefits gained from this use - as well as the relationships between them. The evidence will allow us to understand who benefits from internet use, who does not, and the role of digital skills in this outcome.

This is achieved via:

  • Expert validation of the questionnaire
  • 15 cognitive interviews to adapt the questionnaire to the Chilean context
  • A pilot questionnaire of 40 individuals and a pilot-scale study of 200 people
  • Representative survey of 1100 individuals in the Metropolitan region
  • 20 interviews to aid survey data interpretation
