First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests a family-based program designed to prevent child maltreatment and other adverse childhood experiences in Kyrgyzstan. The program combines parenting support, co-parenting skills, and financial literacy into one coordinated approach. Families with a child aged 6-9 are randomly assigned to either the 16-week program or standard school services. Researchers will measure children's behavior, self-regulation, and school adjustment to see if the program helps.
