Notes: This table summarizes the frequency distribution (and proportion) of relevant demographic characteristics of the adolescent girls included in this study from the Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) Ethiopia baseline quantitative survey. This sample is restricted to randomly never-married, in-school adolescent girls with age data. The rural sample consists of only the younger cohort of adolescent girls (10-12years). There are small differences in sample sizes across demographic characteristics. The sample size at the bottom of each column reflects the maximum sample size for that sub-sample
