Summary

This study aims to examine the implementation and effectiveness of the original version of PLH Teens delivered in-person (PLH Teens-Original) and a hybrid in-person and remote delivery of the programme (PLH Teens-Hybrid) as part of the Mothers2Mothers' (M2M) Children and Adolescents are My Priority (CHAMP) project in Mpumalanga, South Africa. It will also examine differential effects between PLH Teens-Original and PLH Teens-Hybrid on reducing risks of violence against children using propensity score matching. Lastly, it will examine the implementation feasibility of PLH Teens-Hybrid in terms of implementation fidelity; recruitment, retention, and engagement of parents and adolescents; and the relevance, acceptability, and satisfaction of the programme.

Detailed description

Study Design This study will use a mixed-methods approach to qualitatively and quantitatively address the research aims. It will be implemented from May to July 2021 in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. The study design will involve a) pre-post quantitative analyses of primary and secondary outcomes for both PLH Teens-Original and PLH Teens-Hybrid, b) difference in analyses to compare effects between the two delivery modalities, and c) qualitative interviews and quantitative analyses of programme feasibility and implementation. Recruitment Recruitment of parents/caregivers and adolescents will be integrated into CHAMP's current recruitment strategy which includes engaging with schools, faith-based organisations, local NGOs, health facilities, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) DREAMS (Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored, and Safe) partners, door-to-door engagement and other contextually relevant approaches. CHAMP leverages its partnerships for recruitment and the CHAMP partner, Grassroots Soccer, actively engages in recruitment for the DREAMS programme. Participants enrolled into the hybrid PLH programme will be screened using the USAID approved Vulnerability Assessment Tool to ensure that the most vulnerable households are reached. The pilot will target caregivers in the Nelspruit area to ensure adequate access to internet connectivity.
