Father-Inclusive Parenting Intervention in Mwanza, Tanzania

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This cluster-randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the impact of a couples-based parenting program, "Familia Bora," on mothers' and fathers' parenting, couples' relationships, gender, and early child development in the Mwanza Region, Tanzania. Additionally, this study aims to assess the program's implementation and identify factors influencing its quality and effectiveness. Trained community health workers will deliver the program by facilitating weekly peer group sessions in their villages. Twelve couples with a child under two years old will be enrolled in each village. The program will cover various topics, including responsive caregiving, positive discipline, stress management, healthy couples' communication, nutrition, and gender.
