Project description
The aim of the current project is to explore view of youth with lived experiences and their caregiver on the role of parent/caregivers and family in the prevention and treatment of anxiety and depression in adolescents in low- and middle- income countries. Findings from this project will be used to inform the next steps in the Wellcome Trust’s Active Ingredients commission, which aims to identify the most promising interventions for the prevention and treatment of youth anxiety and depression. Our specific research questions are:
- How young people with lived experiences and their parent/carers define parenting interventions and involvement of parent(s)/caregiver(s)/family in youth interventions?
- What contextual factors of such parenting interventions and involvement of parent(s)/caregiver(s)/family in youth interventions are important to them?
- What are their recommendations regarding future research of parenting interventions and involvement of parent(s)/caregiver(s)/family in youth interventions?
