The problem
Intervention: Programmes designed to shift social norms in order to prevent or delay child marriage or limit its harmful consequences, as reviewed across 12 studies
Who it was tested with: Adolescent girls and their communities in the 12 included studies (settings not stated in the abstract).
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.
"were evaluated in experimental or quasi-experimental evaluations" - The review synthesises studies with comparison-group designs, but its own conclusion is that they give only weak evidence, so the overall direction is inconclusive.
Small number of eligible studies (12). The studies were heterogeneous and varied in quality. Norms were measured inconsistently, often without defined reference groups. The abstract gives no effect sizes.
