This randomized trial in Thailand evaluated a blended parenting programme combining in-person sessions and messaging support, finding no reduction in child maltreatment at one-month follow-up. Results suggest the need to refine programme design and target higher-risk families, as well as assess longer-term impacts to better understand effectiveness.

This study explores the large-scale implementation of the Parenting for Lifelong Health for Teens (PLH-Teens) program in Tanzania, examining implementers’ experiences in delivering a parenting intervention to over 75,000 beneficiaries in a low-resource setting. It finds that while scaling evidence-based programs to reduce violence against children is feasible, long-term success depends on government support, strong local engagement, and addressing practical challenges to sustain implementation at scale.

Naungan Kasih (NK) is a hybrid positive parenting program for parents and caregivers of preschool-aged children that blends digital, in-person, and remote support to strengthen parenting skills and promote children’s healthy development.
