Sowing Tangible Hope Intervention

This 5-arm experimental study is designed to test the impact of each of the interventions above independently against a no-treatment control group or against another treatment group on the outcomes of interest. A combined Learn & Earn + quarterly deposits condition will test the impact of combining the two interventions relative to a no-treatment control or relative to each of the two interventions in isolation. Finally, a fourth treatment condition will test a policy-relevant impact of packaging Learn & Earn, quarterly deposits and guaranteed income relative to a no-treatment control group, and a combined Learn & Earn + quarterly deposits condition to examine the added (and interactive) impact of providing guaranteed income in conjunction with these other supports. Together these analyses will not only provide rigorous evidence of impact but also useful information on the relative impacts of each intervention to allow for cost-effective policy decisions.
