Supporting Syrian families displaced by armed conflict: A pilot randomized controlled trial of the Caregiver Support Intervention
1 Aug 2020
War Child’s Caregiver Support Intervention (CSI) aims to strengthen parenting by lowering stress and improving psychosocial wellbeing among refugee parents, while also increasing knowledge and skill related to positive parenting. The CSI is a nine-session group intervention delivered by non-specialist providers. This paper describes the findings of a two-arm pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the CSI with Syrian refugees in Lebanon. The primary aim was to test the feasibility of our study methodology prior to conducting a definitive RCT.
