The problem
Intervention: Conditional cash transfer program providing money to families conditional on adolescent girls' school attendance
Who it was tested with: Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian adolescent girls in Lebanon.
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.
"Survey data were collected from households receiving a cash transfer conditional on adolescent girls' school attendance and a comparison group of households... Survival analysis was used to compare the transition to marriage and school dropout among girls who received cash transfers for different durations." The design uses a comparison group and longitudinal data to measure outcomes over time, meeting the threshold for an experimental design, though not randomised.
The study compares intervention and comparison groups rather than using randomisation, so comparability at baseline is not confirmed. The analysis does not clearly specify whether potential confounding variables were controlled for. Results differ by duration of program participation, suggesting the intervention requires sufficient implementation time.
