Experimental Design
There is no inclusion criteria for the study participants above those imposed by Raising the Village to be a participating community/area. Within each village included in the study, we work with the village elder to compile a complete list of households in the village (to be the sampling frame for the household baseline survey). We randomly select 12 households to be surveyed from this list. Survey respondents are approached in their households and asked to take part in the study. They are then be taken through the oral consent process, and if they agree to take part in the study, proceed to the baseline survey. We will later return to carryout an endline survey with the respondent, subject to their consent. Clusters of villages will be randomly assigned by the research team to receive the Raising the Village intervention.
