What do children themselves report after a community parenting program?
The evaluation links respectful parenting with family relationships and includes children’s reports, a valuable perspective when adults are evaluating their own behavior.
Who was studied?
484 parents and 212 children in semi-rural Ugandan communities
Age / stage: Parents and their children; see source methods for child age distribution
Read with three questions
- How did parent and child reports compare?
- Which outcomes concerned harsh parenting and which concerned partner relationships?
- Why can an uncontrolled pre-post study not isolate a program effect?
Keep the limits in view
The study had no randomized or untreated control condition. Secular change and social-desirability bias could influence reported improvements; inclusion of children’s reports strengthens perspective but does not establish causation.
