Brief Summary
This cluster-randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effectiveness, implementation, and scalability of Familia Imara, a group-based, couples-focused, community health worker (CHW)-delivered parenting program, on reducing intimate partner violence (IPV), harsh discipline, and improving child development and nutrition outcomes in the Mara and Geita regions of Tanzania. Villages will be randomly assigned to either an intervention or control arm. The study will be implemented in two sequential cohorts. In Cohort 1, a traditional randomized controlled trial will compare intervention villages receiving the program to control villages receiving no intervention (waitlist control), with delivery supported primarily by implementing partners in collaboration with government supervisors. In Cohort 2, the same villages will retain their original assignment. Intervention villages will receive the program under a government-led delivery model to assess scalability and integration into existing systems, while control villages will transition from waitlist to receive the intervention. Evidence generated will inform policy and practice for preventing family violence and promoting early childhood development at scale.
