Family Strengthening Intervention for Early Childhood Development (ECD) (FSIECD)
Adapting a Family Strengthening Intervention (FSI) to Improve Early Childhood Development (ECD) Outcomes
Studieoversikt
Detaljert beskrivelse
Qualitative research from past studies was used to adapt an existing family-strengthening intervention for HIV-AIDS affected families to extremely vulnerable families with children 0-3 in order to improve early childhood development outcomes. This small scale pilot was carried out to test the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention for extremely vulnerable families with young children in Rwanda.
In the first 10 families the intervention consisted of 21 modules, in the second iteration of the study with an additional 10 families, the curriculum was summarized into 15 modules. Modules were delivered by trained bachelor-level interventionists/home-visiting coaches and were delivered to families one on one in their respective homes. Modules were delivered on a weekly to biweekly basis and were flexible to the families needs and other responsibilities.

Eksperimentell: FSI ECD
Vulnerable Households (ubudehe 1 or 2) in the Government of Rwanda's poverty classification system, when categories ranged from 1 to 6; the system has since been restructured to have four categories only.
Often a way to identify households for public works opportunities or other government assistance programs.
For this arm, families had to be Ubudehe 1 or 2 and have a child aged 0-3 years.
Households meeting these criteria in the catchment area(s) received the FSI ECD home-based parenting intervention from bachelor-level interventionists/"coaches."
|
The FSI ECD intervention was delivered in a structured curriculum format, covering a range of topics from health, water and sanitation, good hygiene, early stimulation, conflict resolution, to good communication.
It was designed to improve vulnerable households home environment and engagement with their children in order to improve child development outcomes.
The curriculum was delivered by bachelor-level trained staff with beneficiaries on an individual, one on one basis, using active coaching to promote child well being and behaviors with caregivers.
