In this episode, our Associated Editor, Nina Sun talks to the authors of a recently published paper in the SRHM journal, 'Setting research priorities for prevention and response to child marriage in communities in the Arab region: findings from a multi-stage Delphi study involving practitioners across the region.' Progress on ending child marriage in the Arab region is slowing due to an increase in conflict-affected populations and widespread economic crisis. This paper explores the research priorities across the region to inform effective and accelerated child marriage prevention and response programming within the Arab region
