The problem
Intervention: Caregiver Support Intervention (CSI): a nine-session group intervention delivered by non-specialist providers that aims to lower caregiver stress and improve psychosocial wellbeing while increasing knowledge and skills related to positive parenting
Who it was tested with: Syrian refugee families (78 families, 151 parents) displaced in Lebanon.
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 recruited 78 families (151 parents), who were randomized to the CSI or a waitlist control group. Data were collected at baseline and post-intervention." The randomized design with control group and repeated measurement provides experimental evidence of the intervention's impact on parental outcomes and reported child wellbeing.
Pilot study with small sample size (78 families); blinding was not completely effective; child wellbeing measured only through parent report, not direct child assessment; no longer-term follow-up data beyond post-intervention
