Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Percentage of girls with an intention to use contraception in the next 3 months, originally measured using a four-point Likert scale (1=Yes, definitely; 2=Yes, probably; 3=No, probably not; and 4=No, definitely not). The researchers collapsed this to a binary variable (No/Yes) and included the 12 girls at endline who responded that they preferred not to answer in the “No” category. Measured at baseline and endline. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measured with quantitative surveys at baseline, midline and endline for the intervention group and baseline and endline for the control group: 1. Percentage of girls who have gone to a health facility for sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services or information (“Have you ever visited a health facility recently for puberty or menstruation information?”) 2. Percentage of girls who strongly agree or agree that contraception causes infertility (“Modern contraception can cause infertility”) 3. Percentage of girls who strongly agree or agree that contraception is the best option (“If I am having sex and want to avoid pregnancy modern contraception is best option”) 4. Percentage of girls who strongly agree or agree that they have the confidence to both get and use contraception (“I feel confident in my ability to get a contraceptive method, if I wanted to avoid pregnancy” and “I feel confident in my ability to use a contraceptive method, if I wanted to avoid pregnancy”) 5. Percentage of girls who strongly agree or agree that health care workers do not like to give contraceptive advice to unmarried girls (“Health care workers do not like to give advice to young unmarried girls about family planning”) 6. Percentage of girls who strongly agree or agree that unmarried girls should not and do not use contraception and that those around them do not use contraception (a combination of three questions: “Most unmarried girls my age do not use modern contraception to avoid or delay pregnancy,” “Most girls think that unmarried girls should not use modern contraception,” and “The people most important to me do not think I should use a modern contraception method”). The researchers collapsed those that had a “Yes“, “No“, “Don’t know“, and “Prefer not to answer“ response into a binary variable with cases responding “Don’t know“ or “prefer not to answer“ classified as “No“. They collapsed variables that were originally collected using a four-point Likert scale (1=Strongly agree; 2= | — |
