Journey of Life Psychosocial Support for Conflict-Affected Populations in Uganda
The proposed study evaluates the impact and implementation of the Journey of Life intervention among crisis-affected caregivers living in Western Uganda.
In this quasi experimental waitlist control design, participants will be assigned to treatment or waitlist control group based on their geographic location.
The intervention will be delivered in X sessions weekly.
Assessments will be conducted at baseline and following the intervention period.
Assessments will include mental health, functioning, social support, child protection behaviors, parenting attitudes, and experiences of intimate partner violence.
The study also aims to examine implementation of the Journey of Life intervention through qualitative assessments of feasibility, acceptability, adaptation, reach, and adoption.
研究概览
详细说明
Aligned with the USAID HEARD (Health Evaluation and Applied Research Development) purpose to leverage global partnerships to generate, synthesize, and use evidence to improve program implementation in low and middle-income countries, the proposed study will examine the impact and implementation of the Journey of Life (JoL) intervention in a humanitarian setting.
The JoL intervention aims to provide psychosocial support to adults and galvanize caregivers to develop action plans for child protection in their communities.
The proposed research will involve an analysis of effect sizes for mental health, functioning, social support, child protection behaviors, parenting attitudes and behaviors, and experiences of intimate partner violence.
The research also aims to interrogate implementation strategies that are useful within humanitarian contexts through qualitative key informant interviews and focus group discussions.
Assessments include baseline and follow up data collection to measure effect sizes and assess implementation strategy components.
The study aims are to: (1) assess the impact of JoL on child protection indicators, (2) examine the effects of JoL on behavioral health functioning (i.e.
mental health, social support, and functioning)

参与者组/臂 |
干预/治疗 |
|---|---|
|
实验性的：Journey of Life Intervention Group
Community members (caregivers, teachers, and community leaders) will participate in group workshops for a period of 6 weeks.
|
The concept underlying the JoL intervention is that caregivers and community members can support each other and their children through reflection, dialogue, and action.
JoL addresses children's and adolescents' ecologies by working with caregivers, educators, and community members to understand the importance of their support in protecting children.
|
|
其他：Waitlist Control Group
The waitlist control group will not receive the intervention during the first 6 months of implementation in order to assess the effects of the intervention compared to the control group.
However, following intervention completion in the experimental group, the control group will receive 6 months of the intervention.
