Abstract Background Evidence-based parenting programmes have strong evidence in preventing and mitigating violence, but in-person are challenging to deliver at scale. ParentApp is an open-source, offline-first app-based adaptation of the Parenting for Lifelong Health Parents Teens programme promote playful positive parenting, reduce risks sexual violence victimisation, prevent against adolescents. This study aims evaluate effectiveness cost-effectiveness compared attention-control group....
Ending all violence against children by 2030 is a core part of Sustainable Development Goals 5 and 16. A number promising reduction strategies have been identified in research studies. However, we lack an understanding the implementation impact these programs respect to their delivery at large scale or within existing service systems, particularly low- middle-income countries (LMICs). We advocate for greater collaboration between researchers, policymakers, donors, governments,...
Abstract The quality of parenting program implementation significantly affects the extent to which a is delivered effectively as well likelihood it becoming embedded in everyday services. group based Parenting for Lifelong Health Young Children (PLH-YC) parents children aged 2–9 years was developed specifically low- and middle-income contexts, has been tested five randomized trials, incorporates number strategies encourage fidelity delivery. This paper reports on introduction PLH-YC...
The parenting evidence base is well established, and the question how best to transfer an app. App-based interventions could expand access evidence-based support; however, current provision lacks rigorous evidence, shows low user engagement, primarily for commercial gain.
