Summary
This study tested a 12-week program called SSAGE that brings together adolescent girls, their brothers, and their parents to discuss gender roles, communication, and healthy relationships. The goal was to prevent anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues in girls who were recently forced to leave Venezuela and move to Colombia. A total of 186 girls and their families took part, and researchers measured mental health symptoms before and one month after the program.
