Experimental Design (Public)
|
Before
We will use an individual level randomization stratified on 25 center locations. Specifically, we created a list of interested girls in each of the 25 program center areas. These girls were then interviewed and narrowed to approximately 30 to 40 girls per center. Due to limited space in each center, only 20 girls can be selected for the program. Therefore, from this narrowed list, we randomly select 20 girls for each center.

Not all girls accepted the offer. As a result, we randomized the control sample in each 25 center, to randomly select an additional subset of girls to be offered the program.

Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms
|
Before
500 individuals in treatment (offered program); 470 individuals in control (not offered program)
|
After
651 individuals in treatment (offered program); 319 individuals in control (not offered program).
Originally, we had 500 in treatment and 470 in the control - our updated numbers reflect that a random subset of the control was offered the program after this initial selection.
