本文回顾了在低收入国家开展的23个童婚预防项目，并采用了一系列方案方法和评估策略。我们记录了已经实施的童婚项目的类型，评估了它们是如何被评估的，描述了这些评估的主要局限性，总结了评估结果，并提出了改进未来预防工作的建议。有证据表明，提供奖励并试图赋予女孩权力的方案可以有效防止童婚，并可以相对较快地促进变化。然而，审查研究的方法局限性强调，需要更多地了解这些方案如何防止童婚，以及在方案实施之后是否会产生持续的影响。
This article reviews 23 child marriage prevention programs carried out in low-income countries and employing a range of programmatic approaches and evaluation strategies. We document the types of child marriage programs that have been implemented, assess how they have been evaluated, describe the main limitations of these evaluations, summarize the evaluation results, and make recommendations to improve future prevention efforts. The evidence suggests that programs offering incentives and attempting to empower girls can be effective in preventing child marriage and can foster change relatively quickly. Methodological limitations of the reviewed studies, however, underscore that more needs to be learned about how the programs prevent child marriage and whether impact is sustained beyond program implementation.
