Suubi4Stronger Families: Addressing Child Behavioral Health by Strengthening
Financial Stability and Parenting among Families in Uganda
REFNo: SS1205ES
The study examines the mechanisms by which economic empowerment (EE) and family strengthening (FS) interventions targeting social, familial and context-specific drivers affect childhood behavioral health.
Specific aims of the study are:
Aim 1: Examine the impact of EE only, MFG-based FS only, and combined EE+MFG-based FS on children’s DBD symptoms and behavioral functioning.
Aim 2: Test the influence of EE only, MFG-based FS only, and combined EE+MFG-based FS on family financial stability (e.g., food and housing stability, material assets, savings), parenting and protective family
processes (e.g., family organization, caregiver/child interaction, cohesion, support) and perceptions related to
help seeking (e.g., stigma) on CBH and functioning; and assess whether these change mechanism mediate intervention effects on DBD symptoms and behavioral functioning, and explore moderation by context specific moderators of intervention effects.
Aim 3: Qualitatively examine participants’ experiences with each intervention arm.
