PY - 2017 DA - 2017/05/05 TI - Cluster randomized evaluation of Adolescent Girls Empowerment Programme (AGEP): study protocol JO - BMC Public Health SP - 386 VL - 17 IS - 1 AB - Adolescents in less developed countries such as Zambia often face multi-faceted challenges for achieving successful transitions through adolescence to early adulthood. The literature has noted the need to introduce interventions during this period, particularly for adolescent girls, with the perspective that such investments have significant economic, social and health returns to society. The Adolescent Girls Empowerment Programme (AGEP) was an intervention designed as a catalyst for change for adolescent girls through themselves, to their family and community.
