点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Early pregnancy is a major cause of mortality amongst young African women. Early Marriage is a major cause of pregnancy. Young women in conservative Islamic communities are particularly vulnerable to early marriage. New research has emerged about the potential impact of participatory community interventions and cash transfer intervention in delaying marriage by increasing uptake of education. However, these interventions have not yet been tried in a conservative Islamic setting. This study will build on new knowledge about the effectiveness of cash transfer and community interventions to delay marriage to develop an intervention to delay marriage in conservative Islamic communities in Eastern Sudan.
