The problem
Intervention: Not an intervention evaluation; rather, a study of how adolescents naturally use elopement to navigate adversity and precarity
Who it was tested with: 32 Rohingya refugee and asylum-seeking adolescents aged 10–19 years in Malaysia, with 58 compiled accounts of elopement, child marriage, and dating.
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.
"This qualitative study aimed to investigate the drivers, trajectories, and outcomes of elopement among Rohingya boys and girls (10–19 years) in Malaysia. Collaborating with refugee-led organizations and 13 Rohingya youth advisors, we conducted semi-structured interviews and focus groups with 32 participants." The study documents adolescent agency and decision-making within constrained circumstances rather than evaluating a designed intervention, making it practitioner-level evidence of how young people navigate child marriage contexts.
This is a qualitative study documenting lived experiences without testing specific interventions or measuring outcomes quantitatively. The study does not compare outcomes between elopers and non-elopers or evaluate any policy or programme change.
