The problem
Intervention: None evaluated; this is an observational study comparing family formation patterns between age cohorts
Who it was tested with: 1,565 females and 722 males aged 15-24 from Rohingya refugee camps in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh; 643 married females for birth interval analysis.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"We use data from 1,565 females and 722 males aged 15-24, collected within fifteen camps in Cox's Bazar, to estimate hazard of first marriage and of child marriage... Displacement may have increased risk of child marriage for adolescents, as evidenced by higher child marriage rates amongst males and females who were age 14-18 at the time of displacement." The study compares age cohorts as a proxy for displacement exposure timing, inferring that older cohorts experienced displacement during earlier adolescence and thus show higher marriage rates.
Cross-sectional design with age cohorts used as proxy for exposure timing; cannot establish causal relationship between displacement and marriage; relies on recall data; cannot distinguish displacement effects from other factors.
