Implementation Science and Impact evaluation of the parenting for respectability programmes: A hybrid CRCT Designâ€
REFNo: SS900ES
The overall objective of this study is to conduct a cRCT evaluation of PfR to test its effectiveness and cost-effectiveness for reducing violence against children and gender based violence.
1. Test the effectiveness of PfR in modifying key outcomes on parent-child relationships and relationships between partners that underlie violence against children and girls/women.
2. Examine the cost effectiveness of PfR using incremental cost-effectiveness analyses (CEA) based both on the primary outcomes of harsh parenting and partner conflict as well as on disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).
3. Examine how three implementation variables – rural vs peri-urban locality, previously established groups vs new groups, and professional vs non-professional facilitators – affect participation, programme fidelity, and quality of delivery (measured quantitatively);
4. Examine the impact of implementation variables – participant engagement and quality of delivery by facilitators – on primary outcomes of parent- and child-report of harsh parenting and partner conflict.
5. Qualitatively investigate the five elements of implementation: (i) what training facilitators need (length, follow-up, who delivers training, location, etc.); (ii) what supervision facilitators need (frequency, by whom, nature of feedback, etc.); (iii) targeting of PfR at the most vulnerable families and how this can be done; (iv) disseminating PfR’s messages beyond those participating in group sessions to operate at a community, as well as individual, level; (v) differences between Wakiso and Amuru Districts in facilitative and hindering contextual factors. We will explore how these affect participation, programme fidelity, quality of delivery, participant response and community-wide impact.
