Description

Description of data capture Surveys were administered by field staff using paper questionnaires in the local language (Chitumbuka). Data collection was supervised and managed on site by a team of scientists, field enumerators and data entry personnel. Data were then double-entered into MS Access by the data entry office for further analysis. To examine the relationship between school progression and sexual debut, pregnancy and marriage, data was combined from (1) individual-level surveys (including schooling histories), (2) household-level socio-economic surveys (data on household assets and consumption) and (3) sexual behaviour data, including the approximate timing of sexual debut, pregnancy and marriage. Participant IDs are used to link individuals within and across households over time. Further details on the methods used for data capture and analyses have been elaborated in the methods section of the paper.
