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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Integrated Family and Economic Empowerment Program (behavioral intervention combining parenting, co-parenting, and financial literacy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could provide an evidence-based model to reduce child maltreatment and improve child well-being in Kyrgyzstan and similar settings.
What could go wrong
This is a pilot study with 396 participants, so results may not generalize. The program requires 16 weeks of group sessions, which may be difficult for some families to complete.
