Summary

This trial will evaluate an evidence-based family support program as a way to reduce the impact of political violence on the well-being of children and families in Palestine.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for families in Palestine with an adolescent aged 13-16. Both parents and the child must be willing to participate, and they should live within the service area of implementing organizations. Families cannot join if anyone has significant mental or physical impairments that prevent group participation.

What is being tested?

The study tests a family support program called Promoting Positive Family Futures against usual treatment practices. It aims to improve family conflict, parental psychopathology, security within the family, and adolescent adjustment through a randomized controlled trial with follow-ups over one year.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves psychological support rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort or distress when discussing sensitive topics like violence or personal challenges.
