Intervention to Delay Early Marriage and Pregnancy in Eastern Sudan

早孕是非洲年轻妇女死亡的一个主要原因。早婚是怀孕的主要原因。保守的伊斯兰社区的年轻妇女特别容易早婚。新的研究表明，参与性社区干预和现金转移干预通过提高教育水平来推迟婚姻可能产生的影响。然而，这些干预措施尚未在保守的伊斯兰环境中尝试过。这项研究将建立在对现金转移和社区干预措施的有效性的新知识的基础上，以推迟结婚，从而在苏丹东部保守的伊斯兰社区制定推迟结婚的干预措施。

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.
