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.

How to conduct an overall endline for impact assessment when there is not baseline data for the control group?

We are trying to do an endline assessment to see the impact of the intervention. Before intervention we conducted a baseline (cross-sectional study) survey in the intervention area but unfortunately we do not have a baseline data from the control areas. During the endline assessment we also would like to include the control areas since we do not have a baseline data from the control areas. So in this circumstances how can we assess the real impact of the intervention. We would like to note that the intervention and control areas are in the same district but different sub-districts.

Hi there,

In this case you can collect information from control areas and using Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method you can assess the impact of intervention even though you have not collected baseline information from the control areas. Hope it helps.
Cheers!
