Intervention: Programmatic engagement with caregivers to shift gender-equitable attitudes
Who it was tested with: 732 girls aged 10-14 years and their caregivers (92% female) in South Kivu, DRC; baseline mean caregiver age 40.7 years.
Children or communities are compared with a group that did not receive the intervention, or followed over years. This is the design that best separates what the intervention did from everything else that changed.
"This study uses panel data from a program evaluation to analyze associations between changes in gender-equitable attitudes among caregivers and changes in schooling and violence victimization for girls ages 10 to 14 years old in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Participants were recruited in May 2015 for baseline (May to July 2015) and endline (August to October 2016) data collection." The study employed a longitudinal design with baseline and endline measurements 16 months apart, using logistic regression to test associations between changes in caregiver attitudes and changes in girl outcomes.
Self-reported nature of all outcomes; single questionnaire items used to construct some outcome variables; potential self-selection bias; cross-sectional design cannot establish causation; outcomes measured subjectively by participants
