A longitudinal investigation of the family stress model in South Africa
Are parenting programmes effective at scale? Associations with violence against adolescent girls, parenting and mental health in real-world delivery across eight African countries
INTRODUCTION: Evidence-based parenting programmes are widely used to prevent violence against children and improve parenting and mental health. Despite hundreds of randomised trials, little is known about their outcomes when delivered at scale within routine delivery. This study assesses the WHO-endorsed and UNICEF-endorsed Parenting for Lifelong Health programme for caregivers and adolescents, delivered through non-governmental organisation and …
A Scoping Review and Synthesis of Qualitative Evidence Reporting Stakeholders’ Conceptualization of Child to Parent Violence and Abuse
Child and Adolescent to Parent Violence and Abuse (CAPVA) is a significant social issue, but to date, there is limited understanding of how it is conceptualized by different stakeholders. This scoping review and qualitative synthesis aimed to: (a) Map the concepts used by stakeholders to describe CAPVA and (b) Generate a theoretical model to explain how stakeholders conceptualize CAPVA in terms of context, conditions, mechanisms, and outcomes. Se…
Piloting a data dashboard to support data-informed health promotion in secondary schools
The Dashboard presents an opportunity for data-informed health and well-being practice and could also support schools to meet education system requirements, providing school staff receive appropriate training. This paper offers novel practical, policy-relevant insights on the interaction of digital dashboards with school systems, capacity constraints, and professional learning needs and valuable insights for public health systems seeking to suppo…
How do gender transformative interventions reduce adolescent pregnancy in low- and middle-income countries
Background: Adolescent pregnancy poses a significant health challenge for girls aged 15-19 in low- and middle-income countries. While gender transformative interventions (GTIs) aim to address this issue, a substantial research gap exists concerning the underlying mechanisms contributing to their success. This study employs a realist synthesis approach to systematically investigate how, why, for whom, and in what contexts GTIs effectively reduce a…
Acceptability and cultural appropriateness of a parenting programme to reduce violence against adolescents in Tanzania delivered at scale
Although parenting programmes may be effective at reducing violence against children (VAC), there is a limited understanding on how acceptable and appropriate such programmes are among parents/caregivers ('caregivers') when delivered at scale. This paper explores the acceptability and cultural appropriateness of a parenting programme for caregivers and their adolescent girls, Parenting for Lifelong Health for Teens (PLH-Teens), which was delivere…
Pedalling Progress? Assessing the Long-Term Impact of a Bicycle Intervention on Adolescent Maternal and Child Health in Zambia
This study evaluates the long-term impact of a gender-transformative intervention that provided bicycles to adolescent girls in rural Zambia to enhance school attendance and empowerment. Implemented in 2017 across 100 schools, the intervention aimed to reduce travel barriers and improve educational access. Using an experimental design with a final sample of 1615 adolescent girls (676 treatment, 939 control) in 92 school clusters, we estimate the …
A stakeholder perspective on the necessary conditions for successfully implementing parenting interventions in Botswana
Background: Encouraging positive parenting practices through evidence-based interventions is vital for the achievement of SDG target 16.2, which aims to eradicate all forms of violence against children while promoting their safety and mental wellbeing. As low- and middle- income countries increasingly adopt parenting programs, policymakers and implementers face the challenge of efficiently transporting, adapting, and implementing them across mult…
Reducing family and school-based violence at scale
BACKGROUND: Parenting programmes, including those delivered in the Global South, are effective strategies to reduce violence against children (VAC). However, there is limited evidence of their impact when implemented at scale within routine delivery systems. This study aimed to address this gap by evaluating the real-world delivery of Parenting for Lifelong Health for Teens in Tanzania. METHODS: Participating parents/caregivers and their adolesce…

Protective factors for adolescent sexual risk behaviours and experiences linked to HIV infection in South Africa
Effective structural interventions to improve food security and education enrolment among adolescent girls, and positive and supervisory caregiving among adolescent girls and boys are likely to translate into crucial reductions in sexual risk behaviours linked to HIV transmission in this population
Identifying Adolescents at Highest Risk of ART Non-adherence, Using the World Health Organization-Endorsed HEADSS and HEADSS+ Checklists
Brief tools are necessary to identify adolescents at greatest risk for ART non-adherence. From the WHO's HEADSS/HEADSS+ adolescent wellbeing checklists, we identify constructs strongly associated with non-adherence (validated with viral load). We conducted interviews and collected clinical records from a 3-year cohort of 1046 adolescents living with HIV from 52 South African government facilities. We used least absolute shrinkage and selection op…
What does ‘following the guidance’ mean in an era of increasingly pluralistic guidance for the development, evaluation and implementation of interventions
Adaptations and staff experiences in delivering parenting programmes and other family support services in three community-based organisations in Cape Town, South Africa during the Covid pandemic
We explore how organisations working on parenting programmes and other types of family support and violence prevention in low-resource settings experienced the pandemic. In August 2020-May 2021, we interviewed (1) staff from three community-based organisations delivering evidence-informed parenting interventions and other psychosocial services for families in Cape Town, South Africa, (2) staff from a parenting programme training organisation and …
Mental health and life satisfaction among 10–11-year-olds in Wales, before and one year after onset of the Covid-19 pandemic
Supporting children's emotional recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic is a public health priority requiring urgent and effective action at multiple levels of society. Maintaining connectedness to school through the pandemic may have played a role in preventing a steeper increase in child mental health difficulties
The Science of Scale for Violence Prevention
Ending all violence against children by 2030 is a core part of Sustainable Development Goals 5 and 16. A number of promising violence reduction strategies have been identified in research studies. However, we lack an understanding of the implementation and impact of these programs in respect to their delivery at a large scale or within existing service systems, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We advocate for greater coll…
Relationships with caregivers and mental health outcomes among adolescents living with HIV
Findings highlight open and supportive adolescent-caregiver communication and good caregiver supervision as potential factors for guarding against mental health problems among adolescents living with HIV in South Africa. Several evidence-informed parenting programmes aim to improve adolescent-caregiver communication and caregiver supervision, and their effect on depression and anxiety among adolescents living with HIV should be rigorously tested …

Parental attendance in two early-childhood training programmes to improve nurturing care
Parent training programmes have significant potential to improve the quality of children's early environments and thereby their development and life-course outcomes. The aim of this study was to identify and explain the extent to which parents engaged in two group-based training programmes, offered to high-risk families enrolled in a randomized controlled trial study called PIÁ in Southern Brazil. The programmes were: (1) ACT: Raising Safe Kids, …

Do saving promotion interventions increase household savings, consumption, and investments in Sub-Saharan Africa? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Risk Factors for Antisocial Behavior in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Reducing child abuse amongst adolescents in low- and middle-income countries
The programme showed no signs of harm and initial evidence of reductions in child abuse and improved caregiver and adolescent outcomes. It showed high acceptability and unexpected community-level diffusion. Findings indicate needs for adaptations, and suitability for the next research step of more rigorous testing in randomised trials, using cluster randomization to allow for diffusion effects
