The problem
Intervention: Participation in formal education
Who it was tested with: Girls aged 10–14 in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo (14 sites).
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.
"A quantitative survey was conducted with girls between the ages of 10–14 across 14 sites in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The prevalence of three forms of violence was estimated across four levels of participation in formal education, and multivariable mixed effects logistic regression models were used to compare girls' increasing levels of education to those who reported never attending school." The study employed a comparative design with regression modelling to test the relationship between education participation and violence outcomes.
Cross-sectional design prevents determination of causality; reliance on self-reported data on sensitive topics; data collected in one region of DRC only; unmeasured confounding variables may explain the association between education and lower violence rates.
