The problem
Intervention: Combined self-regulation intervention (mindfulness, problem-solving, biofeedback, goal-setting, physical activity) plus economic intervention (financial training, negotiation training, education information, and monthly cash transfers)
Who it was tested with: Adolescents aged 12-18 residing in areas of multidimensional poverty with symptoms of depression or anxiety (but not meeting disorder thresholds) in urban Bogotá (Colombia), Kathmandu (Nepal), and Cape Town (South Africa).
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.
"The pilot cRCT has four arms: (i) self-regulation intervention, (ii) economic intervention, (iii) combined (self-regulation + economic) intervention, and (iv) control group (care as usual)." This is a properly controlled experimental design with randomisation at the cluster level, meeting the criteria for EXPERIMENTAL tier, though results are not yet available.
This is a protocol paper; outcomes have not yet been measured or reported. The study is described as 'pilot' to test feasibility and acceptability rather than to establish effectiveness.
