How much easier/​more difficult do you think it would be to evaluate these interventions from a subject well-being point of view, like the kind HLI use?
My intuition is that these interventions might be undervalued when looking at effects in terms of the economic/​health outcomes that GW/​OP use, because I expect they miss a substantial amount of the benefits these interventions might bring.[1]
More exactly: any framework is going to only capture a fraction of the outcomes of any given interventions. I suspect that the benefits of interventions protecting against VAWG are going to have a smaller fraction of the benefits captured by the health/​economic outcomes GW/​OP use, than interventions like distributing bednets, cash transfers, and deworming. This is purely intuition though!
Great question Michael, and I have a similar intuition. I have reached out to HLI to see if they would be interesting in working together on this. From a very brief literature search, there is a small but existent body of work that looks at the effect of VAWG on SWB. Here are a few papers I found that you might find interesting:
