The problem
Intervention: PREPARED: a weekly, six-session, non-specialist delivered prevention program comprising approximately 12 hours of content designed to promote mental health and prevent intimate partner violence
Who it was tested with: 46 adolescents aged 14–17 years in rural Kenya (22 enrolled in secondary school, 24 not enrolled in school).
The same group is measured before the intervention and again afterwards, with a baseline and an endline and sometimes a midline. Change is visible, but other causes cannot be ruled out.
"Adolescent participants completed pre-post surveys (immediately before and following the intervention) and endline FGDs to assess changes in mental health and relationship attitudes and behaviors." This describes a before-after design with the same group measured at two time points without a comparison group, establishing PRE_POST evidence tier.
No comparison or control group; small sample size; immediate post-intervention measurement only, so longer-term effects and sustainability unknown; IPV outcomes showed no change, limiting preliminary evidence of effectiveness for the violence prevention component
