Overview

Qualitative study identifies content for parenting interventions in conflict settings, highlighting effective strategies for adolescents and caregivers.

Key Points

  • This study aims to explore desired content for parenting interventions aimed at reducing violence against adolescents in conflict-affected areas.
  • Conducted participatory workshops with 73 participants (37 parents, 36 adolescents) in conflict-affected DRC.
  • Explored perceptions of violence, parenting practices, and intervention content.
  • Applied reflexive data analysis to identify themes.
  • Participants identified nine crucial components/themes for inclusion in parenting interventions.
  • Themes included experiences of violence, healthy relationships, and strategies for managing conduct and mental health.
  • Findings suggest that intervention content from non-conflict settings needs adaptation for conflict environments.
