The problem
Intervention: Women's empowerment across instrumental (financial autonomy), enabling (work-life balance), and collective (group membership) domains
Who it was tested with: 1,790 children under five years old in Tanzania and their mothers.
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.
"Propensity score matching and logistic regression models were employed to assess the association between women's empowerment and child nutritional outcomes." The study uses quasi-experimental statistical methods to control for confounders in observational data, which represents the strongest feasible design for this research question.
Observational design using propensity score matching cannot establish causation. Cross-sectional data cannot determine direction of effects. Unmeasured confounders may influence results.
