This article reviews 23 child marriage prevention programs carried out in low-income countries and employing a range of programmatic approaches and evaluation strategies. We document the types of child marriage programs that have been implemented, assess how they have been evaluated, describe the main limitations of these evaluations, summarize the evaluation results, and make recommendations to improve future prevention efforts. The evidence suggests that programs offering incentives and attempting to empower girls can be effective in preventing child marriage and can foster change relatively quickly. Methodological limitations of the reviewed studies, however, underscore that more needs to be learned about how the programs prevent child marriage and whether impact is sustained beyond program implementation.
本文综述了在低收入国家开展的 23 项儿童婚姻预防计划，这些计划采用了多种方案方法和评估策略。我们记录了已经实施的儿童婚姻计划的类型，评估了它们的评估方式，描述了这些评估的主要局限性，总结了评估结果，并提出了改进未来预防工作的建议。证据表明，提供奖励和试图增强女孩权能的计划可以有效预防童婚，并能相对较快地推动变革。然而，所审查研究的方法学局限性强调，我们需要更多地了解这些计划如何预防童婚，以及影响是否在计划实施后持续存在。
