Journey of Life Psychosocial Support Program

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The proposed study evaluates the impact and implementation of the Journey of Life intervention among crisis-affected caregivers living in Western Uganda. In this quasi experimental waitlist control design, participants will be assigned to treatment or waitlist control group based on their geographic location. The intervention will be delivered in X sessions weekly. Assessments will be conducted at baseline and following the intervention period. Assessments will include mental health, functioning, social support, child protection behaviors, parenting attitudes, and experiences of intimate partner violence. The study also aims to examine implementation of the Journey of Life intervention through qualitative assessments of feasibility, acceptability, adaptation, reach, and adoption.

Clinical Trial Description

Aligned with the USAID HEARD (Health Evaluation and Applied Research Development) purpose to leverage global partnerships to generate, synthesize, and use evidence to improve program implementation in low and middle-income countries, the proposed study will examine the impact and implementation of the Journey of Life (JoL) intervention in a humanitarian setting. The JoL intervention aims to provide psychosocial support to adults and galvanize caregivers to develop action plans for child protection in their communities. The proposed research will involve an analysis of effect sizes for mental health, functioning, social support, child protection behaviors, parenting attitudes and behaviors, and experiences of intimate partner violence. The research also aims to interrogate implementation strategies that are useful within humanitarian contexts through qualitative key informant interviews and focus group discussions. Assessments include baseline and follow up data collection to measure effect sizes and assess implementation strategy components. The study aims are to: (1) assess the impact of JoL on child protection indicators, (2) examine the effects of JoL on behavioral health functioning (i.e. mental health, social support, and functioning) ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
