NCT ID NCT07651670
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a program that teaches married couples financial skills and respectful communication can improve how they parent their children. Over 2,200 couples in three Indian states attend six group sessions together, covering budgeting, saving, and fair household roles. Researchers then measure changes in parenting practices, such as warmth and harsh discipline, to see if the program makes a difference.
