Summary

This study tested a program that trains both teachers and parents in Tanzania to use non-violent discipline. Over 1,800 children, their parents, and teachers took part. The goal was to see if the training could reduce emotional and physical violence at home and school, and improve children's mental health.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Interaction Competencies with Children training (for teachers and parents)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could provide a low-cost, scalable way to reduce violence against children in schools and homes, improving their mental health and development.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study in Tanzania, so results may not apply to other settings. The program may not reduce violence as hoped, or parents and teachers may not fully adopt the new strategies.
