Lab-in-field on Intra-Spousal Information Sharing in Ethiopia (2023)

The sample for this is drawn from the sampling frame of an impact evaluation of the Second Agricultural Project (AGP2). At baseline in 2021, eligible kebeles were selected based on AGP2 coverage and minimum agricultural household thresholds. As the intervention was provided to development groups, a list of development groups for each kebele was obtained. A listing exercise was then carried out where each member household of the development group was interviewed to determine eligibility for the baseline survey, which was: agricultural households with couples (married or cohabiting) where the woman is pregnant or has a child under age 2. The survey was then conducted with 3 eligible households per 5 groups in kebele (n=15 per cluster). At endline and for this survey experiment, all households interviewed at baseline were meant to be re-interviewed. However, due to insecurity in Amhara, only 1,130 households were re-interviewed from other sample regions. 478 additional households who were listed but not interviewed at baseline were also interviewed, with an additional 140 not listed. This resulted in a total sample size of 1,748 individuals.
