项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract Child maltreatment is a global public health problem, affecting 70% of children in Kenya and significantly increasing children’s risk for negative sequelae (e.g., non-communicable diseases, injury, mental illness) across their lifespan. Parent training programs are key to addressing this global epidemic. In high-income countries, numerous evidence-based parenting programs address familial risk factors associated with maltreatment. The critical barrier to progress occurs in low- and middle-income countries, where few culturally specific programs are available. This project addresses this significant need by leveraging an existing parent training program and its implementation infrastructure. The objectives of this 2-year development study are to: (1) conduct the groundwork to bring SafeCare®, an evidence-based program, to the first location in Africa; and (2) continue and expand the collaborative partnership between Georgia State University (GSU) and Africa Mental Health Foundation (AMHF), our Nairobi partner, to promote the wellbeing of young children and families. Specifically, our project aims to: (1) establish a multi-disciplinary Stakeholder Task Force in Kenya to advise the research and adaptation processes, (2) assess the need and necessary adaptations for SafeCare in Kenya, (3) adapt and test the SafeCare curriculum and implementation, and (4) expand AMHF’s capacity in implementation science. AMHF successfully conducts quantitative research on mental health and substance use with school aged children (ages 6 to 17) and adults across Kenya. This project will expand AMHF’s research capacity for implementation science with respect to cultural adaption and scale-up of evidence-based prevention programs for young children (ages 0 to 5) and families across Kenya and Africa, through extensive partnerships amongst the SafeCare developers at GSU’s National SafeCare Training and Research Center and key country and regional stakeholders, including families, professionals, government, and researchers. We will use focus groups and in-depth interviews with parents, professionals working children and families, and other community stakeholders to understand the prevalent challenges facing parents and the country’s existing service infrastructure. Using the formative research data, we will adapt the SafeCare curriculum and implementation process for delivery with Kenyan families, paving the way for a more comprehensive project evaluating the effectiveness of the adapted curriculum. Our project’s long-term goals are to: (1) build sustainable research and implementation capacity in Kenya and Africa, and (2) design a parenting program to promote children’s wellbeing, and reduce child maltreatment, NCDs and injuries across the lifespan.

项目概要/摘要虐待儿童是一个全球性的公共卫生问题，影响着肯尼亚 70% 的儿童显着增加儿童出现负面后遗症的风险（例如非传染性疾病、父母培训计划是解决这一问题的关键。在高收入国家，有大量基于证据的育儿计划。解决与虐待相关的家庭风险因素。在低收入和中等收入国家，几乎没有针对具体文化的方案。该项目通过利用现有的家长培训计划及其这项为期 2 年的开发研究的目标是：(1) 开展基础工作，将 SafeCare®（一项基于证据的计划）引入到第一个地点非洲；(2) 继续并扩大佐治亚州之间的合作伙伴关系大学 (GSU) 和我们的内罗毕合作伙伴非洲心理健康基金会 (AMHF) 具体而言，我们的项目旨在：(1) 在肯尼亚建立一个多学科利益相关者工作组，为研究和适应过程，(2) 评估肯尼亚 SafeCare 的需求和必要的适应，(3) 调整和测试 SafeCare 课程和实施，以及 (4) 扩大 AMHF 的能力 AMHF 成功开展了心理健康的定量研究。该项目涉及肯尼亚各地学龄儿童（6 至 17 岁）和成人的物质使用问题。将扩大 AMHF 在文化方面实施科学的研究能力调整和扩大针对幼儿（0至5岁）的循证预防方案通过 SafeCare 之间的广泛合作伙伴关系，以及肯尼亚和非洲的家庭 GSU 国家 SafeCare 培训和研究中心以及主要国家和地区的开发人员地区利益相关者，包括家庭、专业人士、政府和研究人员。利用焦点小组和对父母、从事儿童工作的专业人士的深入访谈，家庭和其他社区利益相关者了解面临的普遍挑战我们利用形成性研究数据。将调整 SafeCare 课程和实施流程，以便与肯尼亚语一起提供家庭，为评估效果的更全面的项目铺平道路我们项目的长期目标是：（1）建立可持续的研究和肯尼亚和非洲的实施能力，以及（2）设计一个育儿计划来促进儿童的福祉，并减少儿童一生中的虐待、非传染性疾病和伤害。
