About this trial

The aim of this study is to conduct a multi-country randomized waitlist controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and scalability of the optimized Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) for Parents and Teens program in Moldova and North Macedonia. In Phase 2 of the FLOURISH project, a factorial trial tested multiple intervention components and identified the optimized intervention package. In Phase 3, this trial will assess the implementation, outcomes, and economic impact of the optimized PLH program delivered to adolescents aged 10-14 and their caregivers. ALTERNATIVA will deliver the program in North Macedonia and the Health for Youth Association in the Republic of Moldova.

Qualifiers

None

Disqualifiers

No formal exclusion criteria have been established for the FLOURISH project. However, during the study introduction, the research team will guide participants through a consent form that asks whether they are currently experiencing acute distress or a mental or physical health condition that could interfere with participation. The decision to participate will be made by the individual. If a potential participant indicates they are unable to take part due to acute health issues, the research team will provide appropriate referrals to other services.
