The problem
Intervention: Poverty-reduction intervention (asset-building programme)
Who it was tested with: 1,410 AIDS orphans aged unspecified from 48 schools in Uganda.
Children or communities are compared with a group that did not receive the intervention, or followed over years. This is the design that best separates what the intervention did from everything else that changed.
"we ran structural equation models adjusting for clustering of individuals within schools" to test mediation; the randomized cluster design with comparison group and longitudinal measurement over 48 months provides experimental evidence that the intervention improved mental health outcomes partly through improved family relationships.
Study population limited to AIDS orphans in Uganda; specific intervention components not detailed in abstract; no information on attrition rates, fidelity to intervention, or long-term follow-up beyond 48 months.
