The study was implemented by BRAC Tanzania between September and December 2021 across three peri-urban regions: Dodoma, Dar es Salaam, and Iringa.\n\nUsing the ESTEEM framework of 14 socio-emotional skills, the intervention tested three training curricula: awareness skills (self-awareness, emotional awareness, listening, empathy), management skills (self-control, emotional regulation, perseverance, personal initiative, problem-solving, decision-making, expressiveness, interpersonal relatedness, influence, negotiation, and collaboration), or both combined. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three treatment arms or a control group.\n\nData were collected at three points in time: baseline (May\u2013June 2021), endline approximately three months after training (February\u2013March 2022), and second endline approximately one year after training (October\u2013November 2022). Each round collected information on socio-emotional skills (via self-report scales and behavioural tasks), labour market outcomes, psychological well-being, and, for women, gender empowerment indicators. The three survey rounds are provided as separate cross-sectional files, as collected and anonymised: SES_Tan_Baseline_labelled_noPII.dta (baseline), SES_Tan_Endline_labelled_noPII.dta (endline), and SES_Tan_2nd_Endline_labelled_noPII.dta (second endline).\n\nThe study found that SES training improved self-reported SES in the short run but with limited effects on behavioural measures; all SES gains faded after one year. Modest but sustained employment gains were observed among men who were actively seeking jobs at baseline. Training did not improve labour market outcomes for women on average.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2021-05","end":"2021-06","cycle":"Baseline"},{"start":"2022-02","end":"2022-03","cycle":"Endline (3-month follow-up)"},{"start":"2022-10","end":"2022-11","cycle":"Endline (1-year follow-up)"}],"nation":[{"name":"Tanzania","abbreviation":"TZA"}],"geog_coverage":"Three peri-urban regions of Tanzania: Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, and Iringa.

Within selected communities, the same listing exercise provided an individual sampling frame of all eligible young men and women: aged 16\u201326 who were not in full-time education, training, or employment (NEET). A random sample of 60 young women and 60 young men per community was drawn for the baseline survey.\n\nRandomisation was conducted at the individual level, stratified by community, gender, and age (below\/above the street-level median age). Individuals within each stratum were randomly allocated with equal probability to one of three treatment arms \u2014 27 hours of Awareness (A) training, 27 hours of Management (M) training, 54 hours of combined A+M training \u2014 or to a control arm (no training).","coll_mode":["Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]"],"research_instrument":"The data consist of responses to questionnaires administered at baseline, endline, and second endline.
