Outcomes
’
The main outcome of interest was proportion ‘ever married’, measured as the proportion of girls in the sample who reported ever having been married or living together with a partner as if married, including girls who were separated or divorced at the time of the survey. We also examined the proportion of girls ‘ever engaged’ and found that these results were similar to those for ever married. We therefore report ever married as the main outcome indicator. Other key outcomes in our analysis include ‘ever pregnant’, ‘currently enrolled in school’, and ‘ever worked for income’.
