Work continues apace on ParentApp for teens in Tanzania, with the piloting phase now completed. Preliminary data analysis from the piloting phase is showing successful intervention change across all but one of the outcomes. Qualitative data analysis is ongoing. Optimisation is well underway, with 613 Participants completing the ParentApp workshops and all participants are expected to complete the programme in March 2023. The preliminary Optimisation results are being used to inform delivery of the intervention in the RCT.
The team is now finalising the implementation plan for the RCT using data and learnings from the Pilot and Optimization phase. The research team in Tanzania is nearing completion of community sensitisation and are recruiting and training RAs ahead of baseline data collection which is scheduled to start at the end of February.
