Randomized Controlled Trial of a Family-focused Intervention for Caregivers and Young Adolescents (Phase 3 of FLOURISH) (FLOURISH)

Family-Focused Adolescent & Lifelong Health Promotion: Prevention of Adolescent Mental Health Problems in Eastern Europe

The aim of this study is to conduct a multi-country randomized waitlist controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and scalability of the optimized Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) for Parents and Teens program in Moldova and North Macedonia. In Phase 2 of the FLOURISH project, a factorial trial tested multiple intervention components and identified the optimized intervention package. In Phase 3, this trial will assess the implementation, outcomes, and economic impact of the optimized PLH program delivered to adolescents aged 10-14 and their caregivers. ALTERNATIVA will deliver the program in North Macedonia and the Health for Youth Association in the Republic of Moldova.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Family Functioning; Adolescent - Emotional Problem; Parent Child Relationship; Well-Being, Psychological
• Intervention / Treatment: Behavioral: Optimized Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) for Parents and Teens

Detailed Description

Adolescent mental health is a significant global concern, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like North Macedonia and Moldova. Adolescents in LMICs face numerous challenges, including socio-economic stressors, adverse childhood experiences, and limited access to mental health services. Parenting interventions are one approach to reduce risk for poor adolescent mental health outcomes and family maltreatment. Systematic evaluation of parenting programs is essential for enhancing scalability and sustainability in low-resource settings.

Building on prior research, the Family-Focused Adolescent & Lifelong Health Promotion (FLOURISH) project aims to adapt, optimize, and evaluate a parenting intervention for adolescents aged 10-14 and their caregivers in North Macedonia and Moldova. The project focuses on improving adolescent mental health and well-being in both teens and caregivers, and it is implemented according to the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) framework.

Phase 1 of the project assessed the feasibility and cultural adaptation of the PLH for Parents and Teens program. In Phase 2, a multi-country factorial trial tested different combinations of three additional components (adolescent mental health tools from UNICEF's Helping Adolescents Thrive comics, adolescent peer support, and engagement boosters) and identified the optimized intervention package.

This protocol describes the evaluation (Phase 3) of the optimized FLOURISH intervention package. The randomized waitlist controlled trial will recruit adolescent-caregiver pairs (320 to 340 families per country, 640 to 660 total) to test the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and scalability of the optimized PLH program. Families assigned to the intervention group will receive the program over seven weeks (one pre-program visit and six weekly group sessions), while families in the waitlist control group will receive the intervention after the six-month follow-up assessment. The results of this study will inform the potential for scaling up the optimized intervention at the national level in both countries and contribute robust evidence on adolescent mental health promotion in LMICs.

A first version of this ClinicalTrials.gov record was completed in the PRS system on October 3, 2025, prior to participant recruitment. Due to disruptions related to the U.S. government shutdown affecting ClinicalTrials.gov processing during October/November 2025, there was a delay in public release of the record. Participant recruitment began on October 24, 2025.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Optimized Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) for Parents and Teens; Families assigned to this arm will receive the optimized Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) for Parents and Teens program. The intervention is delivered in groups of approximately 10 adolescent-caregiver pairs over a 7-week period. It includes one pre-program visit and six weekly group sessions (about two hours each), with a mix of joint and separate sessions for caregivers and adolescents. Sessions are facilitated by trained professionals under ongoing supervision to ensure fidelity. The program focuses on strengthening family relationships, improving communication, managing emotions, problem-solving, and promoting positive parenting.	Behavioral: Optimized Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) for Parents and Teens; The optimized Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) for Parents and Teens program is a group-based parenting and adolescent skills training intervention. It will be delivered to adolescent-caregiver pairs (ages 10-14 and their primary caregivers) in groups of about 10 families. The program lasts 7 weeks and includes one pre-program visit and six weekly group sessions of approximately two hours each. Sessions include both joint and separate modules for caregivers and adolescents, focusing on building positive relationships, managing emotions, establishing routines, problem solving, and strengthening family communication. The program is facilitated by trained professionals who receive two days of training and ongoing weekly supervision.
No Intervention: Waitlist Control; Families assigned to this arm will not receive the intervention during the initial study period. They will complete all study assessments at baseline, post-intervention, and 6-month follow-up. After completion of the 6-month follow-up assessment, families in the waitlist control arm will be offered the optimized Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) for Parents and Teens program under the same delivery format as the intervention group.
