Astha Ramaiya Co-author Article in Journal of Adolescence

The article, led by Linnea Zimmerman examines how opportunity structures (parental influence and neighborhood context) affects individual agency among boys and girls in Kinshasa, DRC. We used longitudinal data to identify three distinct groups for boys and girls in each domain. Parental monitoring was associated with the development of both domains for boys, but showed no association for girls. Conversely, parental closeness was more strongly associated with development for girls, than for boys. Neighborhood safety was associated with greater Voice and Freedom of Movement for both boys and girls.

Event Description

The USAID-funded MEASURE Evaluation project is hosting a series of webinar discussions of the popular MEASURE Evaluation manual, How Do We Know If a Program Made a Difference? A Guide to Statistical Methods for Program Impact Evaluation (Lance P, Guilkey D, Hattori A, Angeles G, 2014).

Webinar: Randomization and Its Discontents,” will take place June 29 at 10am EDT. This webinar will consider the impact evaluation strategy of randomization of participation in a program. This approach is often referred to as randomized control trials. Though deliberate randomization is typical, there have been cases where it was accidental or unrelated to any explicit ex-ante evaluation goals. The webinar will consider the basic theory behind the randomization approach, illustrate some evaluations that rely on it, briefly discuss different methods of randomization, and then turn toward skepticism and criticism surrounding the randomization strategy.
