The problem
Intervention: Journey of Life (JoL) group-based curriculum delivered over 12 sessions to refugee caregivers
Who it was tested with: Refugee caregivers in the Kiryandongo refugee settlement, Uganda (intervention n=631, control n=676).
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.
"A waitlist-control quasi-experimental design was implemented in the Kiryandongo refugee settlement (intervention n = 631, control n = 676)", with propensity score matching used to reduce selection bias and establish causal inference between the intervention and improved outcomes in mental health and parenting practices.
Study limited to one refugee settlement; no information on follow-up period or sustainability of effects; no cost-effectiveness analysis provided.
