Impact Evaluation of a Parenting Program to Improve Parenting, Education, and Health Outcomes for Young Children in Liberia
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of an intervention to improve parenting practices, pre-academic and developmental skills, and use of mosquito nets for children in kindergarten in Liberia.
A rigorous impact evaluation using a randomized, waitlist controlled design will be conducted to measure the impact of the intervention on three primary outcomes: positive parenting skills, children's cognitive and educational skills, and malaria knowledge and prevention behaviors.

Experimental: "Parents Make the Difference"
Caregivers are enrolled in the 10-session Parents Make the Difference intervention.
|
The intervention, entitled "Parents Make the Difference," will include 10 sessions.
Parents will attend in a group, and sessions will include didactic information, guided discussion, and modeling and practice of new skills.
All sessions focus on positive parenting skills, with specific skills across three domains that have strong links to child outcomes: (a) positive, non-physical behavior management strategies, (b) strategies for promoting children's early learning, and (c) strategies, primarily use of bed nets, for preventing malaria in children.

Parenting Behavior Assessment (adapted from multiple scales for this context)
Periodo de tiempo: 1 month
|
This is a caregiver-report survey measures including items on various parenting practices, including: caregiver-child communication; discipline and behavior management practices; caregiver-child affection and shared activities; caregiver involvement in child's school and educational activities.
These items will yield several subscores for these different domains.
Some items may also be analyzed as single items, as they measure specific and important outcomes (e.g., use of a harsh discipline strategy)

Parenting Self-Efficacy and Beliefs Assessment (adapted from other scales for this context; includes unique items developed for this context)
Periodo de tiempo: 1 month
|
These items assess parents' confidence in their parenting abilities and their beliefs about caregiving practices.
This measure will yield separate scores for self-efficacy and beliefs about caregiving practices.
Some items may also be analyzed as single items, as they measure specific and important outcomes (e.g., parents' belief about an aspect of harsh discipline)

Child Behavior Assessment (items adapted from the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire)
Periodo de tiempo: 1 month
|
This tool assess children's behaviors and emotional well-being in the domains of hyperactivity, anger, aggression, mood, and peer relationships.

Parent-Child Interaction Observation
Periodo de tiempo: 1 month
|
Caregivers and children in the study will be asked to engage in a play interaction for five minutes, and their verbal interactions will be audio-recorded.
Recordings will be coded for specific behaviors.
The coding system is adapted from the Dyadic Parent Child Interaction Coding System.
|
1 month

Child Cognitive / Pre-Academic Abilities and Emotional Well-being
Periodo de tiempo: 1 month
|
Children will be administered activity-based items to assess a range of cognitive and learning skills, including verbal and language skills (as measured by several activities), numeracy, and pattern recognition.
Items will be combined into composite scores but may also be analyzed separately to measure outcomes on specific abilities (e.g., counting).
Children will also be asked five questions related to their emotional well-being adapted from the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire.
These items will be analyzed as a sum score, and individual items may be analyzed for specific indicators of emotional well-being.
