The problem
Intervention: Measurement and analysis of social norms, attitudes, and prudential reasons influencing parental child marriage decisions to inform future interventions
Who it was tested with: Parents of unmarried (n=127) and married (n=127) adolescent girls in Khulna Division, Bangladesh.
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 performed chi-square tests and logistic regression analyses to identify the role of social norms influencing CM decisions." This is an analytical study measuring associations between measured constructs and marriage outcomes, not an intervention trial, making it primarily descriptive evidence about drivers rather than solutions.
The study is observational and cross-sectional, so it cannot determine whether measured attitudes and norms cause child marriage or result from it. The analysis identifies associations rather than testing the effectiveness of any intervention. Findings are limited to one division in Bangladesh.
