Experimental Design (Public)
|
Before
In this study, we seek to determine whether an alcohol counseling and outreach program in rural Western Kenya can increase levels of sobriety and decrease expenditures on alcohol. While this program will primarily target alcohol usage, we are interested in associated effects of the program on spousal relations (IPV), Intra-household information sharing, and economic productivity. We plan to include approximately 450 households (900 individuals) in 20 villages in Kakamega, Bungoma, and northern Busia countries in Kenya. We will invite a randomly chosen third of these households to participate in substance abuse trainings carried out by the Giselle Foundation, which will include both group and individual counseling sessions over four months. These households will receive the opportunity to receive a financial incentive for participation. We will also employ an experimental approach that uses an auction mechanism to measure willingness to pay for agricultural inputs.

We also will conduct experiments to measure time discounting and intra-household cooperation.

Secondary Outcomes (End Points)
|
Before

After
Reported frequency and incidence of IPV, selection into wage earnings, labor earnings, agricultural productivity, fertilizer usage, time discounting, intrahousehold cooperation.

Field
Secondary Outcomes (Explanation)
|
Before
|
After
Labor earnings by adding the self-employment earnings calculated using a method after Agness et al. (2022) and combining it with labor earnings. Agricultural productivity is the annual per-hectare value of crops harvested. To measure IPV, we will use a list experiment as well as direct elicitation.
