The problem
Intervention: No intervention was tested; this is an observational epidemiological study characterising the problem and its risk factors
Who it was tested with: Host communities (617 households), Iraqi IDPs (664 households), and Syrian refugees (580 households) in Kurdistan Region of Iraq; 1,970 adolescent females aged 10-19.
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 multistage cluster sample design was employed collecting data of KRI host communities, Iraqi IDPs, and Syrian refugees. Interviews were conducted in eligible households...addressing views of marriage, demographics and socioeconomic factors." This is observational surveillance to characterise prevalence and associations, not an intervention evaluation, so it provides baseline evidence about the problem rather than testing a solution.
Cross-sectional design cannot establish causation; prevalence estimates may undercount if very young married girls were absent from households or marriages unreported
