Primary Outcomes (End Points)
|
Before
Attitude/Knowledge of Family Planning, including: knowledge of family planning; knowledge of birth spacing and timing; and perceptions toward contraception (including intentions to use).
Contraceptive Use, including: changes in contraceptive prevalence; changes in method mix; and adherence to methods (compliance, discontinuation).
Pregnancy and Fertility Outcomes, including: pregnancy status; parity; delivery in a facility; months since last birth; wantedness of last birth; and intentions to become pregnant in future.
Child Anthropometric Outcomes, including child height, weight, and anemia status for all children born after the start of the intervention.
Women’s Anthropometric Outcomes, including height, weight, and anemia status.
Women’s and Children’s Educational Attainment, including time spent in school; type of school (public or private) attended, and the highest educational qualification achieved
Weeks Worked, Income, and Women’s Employment, including women’s time use (time spent on childcare versus household and income-generating activities) and sources of household income.
Household Assets and Wealth, including changes in asset ownership over time.
Expenditures, in particular changes in food expenditures and durable expenditures over time.
Please refer to attached experiment proposal for additional details.

Primary outcomes include:
Attitude/Knowledge of Family Planning, including: knowledge of family planning; knowledge of birth spacing and timing; and perceptions toward contraception (including intentions to use).

Power calculation: Minimum Detectable Effect Size for Main Outcomes
|
Before
Please refer to attached experiment proposal for additional details.
|
After
Please refer to attached experiment proposal for additional details. We are sufficiently powered to detect differences in all of our primary endpoints (modern contraceptive use, method mix, family planning knowledge and attitudes, pregnancy within the next 2 years, fertility intentions) over the two year study period. However, we are not likely to be sufficiently powered to detect longer term outcomes related to completed fertility, women's employment, and income, which require longer follow up. With this said, we measure shorter term outcomes, such as women's time use and short-term shifts from informal into formal sector labor, that suggest changes in longer term outcomes, and we begin collecting data for longer term outcomes with the expectation of conducting a longer term follow-up.
