Summary

This trial in a Tanzanian refugee camp will test two programs for caregivers: a stress management course (Self Help Plus) and a parenting class (ICC-P). Researchers want to see if these programs improve children's emotional and behavioral health. About 324 families with children aged 7-10 will be randomly assigned to usual care, the stress course alone, or the stress course plus parenting class. The study will measure outcomes after 12 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Self Help Plus (stress management program) and Interaction Competencies with Children for Parents (parenting program)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that combining mental health support with parenting training improves children's emotional and behavioral health in refugee settings.
What could go wrong
This is a protocol for a trial that hasn't started yet. Results may not apply to other populations, and the programs may not work as hoped in this challenging environment.
