"Parents Make the Difference"
Caregivers are enrolled in the 10-session Parents Make the Difference intervention.
Parents Make the Difference
The intervention, entitled "Parents Make the Difference," will include 10 sessions.

All sessions focus on positive parenting skills, with specific skills across three domains that have strong links to child outcomes: (a) positive, non-physical behavior management strategies, (b) strategies for promoting children's early learning, and (c) strategies, primarily use of bed nets, for preventing malaria in children.
Waitlist Control
Caregivers assigned to the control group received the 10-session Parents Make the Difference intervention after the study was completed.
