Sponsor: University of Cape Town
Summary
A pilot, exploratory cluster Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) with two arms will be conducted to test a two-session parent training programme for caregivers of children enrolled in early childhood development classes in Harare Zimbabwe. The Parenting for Lifelong Health programme for Young Children together with the Mikhulu Trust Book Sharing Programme for Young Children will be adapted into a two-session version programme named Tabudirira Parent Training Intervention for Early Childhood Development.

How best can the 2-session programme delivery be optimised?
