| Popis: | School support programs reduce school dropout, early marriage and early pregnancy for a majority of young orphaned women. We used a mixed methods approach to examine why these programs are less effective for a significant minority by exploring their influence on marriage and health services utilization. Participants were from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) testing school support as HIV prevention. Half as many intervention as control participants had been married; married intervention participants had one more year of education compared to married control participants. Receiving school support did not appear to improve health-related factors. Pregnancy was among the most common reasons for marriage across both groups. The greatest benefit of school support appears to be in delaying marriage and pregnancy while increasing educational attainment. |
