Implication

Quasi-experimental study shows increased income and contraceptive use among adolescent girls in Nigeria, suggesting the effectiveness of integrated programs.

Key Points

Exposure to the integrated program significantly increased the earnings of participants, especially in Ogun where the increase reached 58 percentage points.
After nine months, participants in the intervention group showed improved decision-making around income and a rise in contraceptive use in Kaduna.
The quasi-experimental design compared outcomes of a combined economic and sexual health intervention with a standard sexual health intervention.
This research highlights the potential benefits of layered economic empowerment programs for enhancing the well-being of adolescent girls.
