Adolescent Programming Resources Hub
A literature review of evaluated community-based girl group (“safe spaces”) programs found that most programs used multisectoral approaches for girls aged 13–18 who met weekly in groups of 15–25; complementary activities were common. Most evaluations yielded effects on gender and health attitudes and knowledge, education, psychosocial well-being, and economic and financial outcomes, while outcomes related to health behaviors and health status had majority null findings.
