What would a family call meaningful progress toward safety during a disagreement?
Families and facilitators described a parenting program that considered violence toward women and children in the same household context.
Who was studied?
Fifty families in rural Manicaland, Zimbabwe, taking part in the Sinovuyo pilot.
Age / stage: Adolescence and caregivers
Read with three questions
- What did interviews with families and facilitators add to the before-and-after measures?
- Where did interviews clarify an issue the numerical ratings could not explain?
- What would a family call meaningful progress toward safety during a disagreement?
Keep the limits in view
Reported experiences can explain implementation, while the sample, comparison conditions and follow-up limit inferences about effects in other families.
