Summary

A seven-year randomized evaluation suggests education subsidies reduce adolescent girls' dropout, pregnancy, and marriage but not sexually transmitted infection (STI). The government's HIV curriculum, which stresses abstinence until marriage, does not reduce pregnancy or STI. Both programs combined reduce STI more, but cut dropout and pregnancy less, than education subsidies alone. These results are inconsistent with a model of schooling and sexual behavior in which both pregnancy and STI are determined by one factor (unprotected sex), but consistent with a two-factor model in which choices between committed and casual relationships also affect these outcomes. This data was collected as a part of the study "Education, HIV, and Early Fertility: Experimental Evidence from Kenya." Details on sample construction and data collection for this survey data can be found in the paper. The 2012 version of the paper is available here: http://www.stanford.edu/~pdupas/DDK_EducFertHIV.pdf. Note that all sections of data collected for the study are not currently available and will be released in the future.
