More Than Brides Alliance program and research samples.
* If a village was smaller than 150 households, we created a village cluster grouping the small village to one or more neighboring villags within the same Panchayat. Village clusters were vetted by program partners. ** Enumeration Areas are geographic units defined by the Malawi National Statistical Office. We used this as the unit of measurement for sampling to maintain stability across rounds of data collection since the program used group head village (GHV) level, but those geographic units are subject to change. We mapped EAs and GHVs to "match" to each other and shared both EA and GHV assignments with program implementation staff. + Malawi comparison areas were reassigned at midline (from 26 intervention EAs to 31; from 23 comparison EAs to 14) based on contamination as the program was mistakenly implemented in planned comparison areas.
