The primary outcome is frequency of three types of punishment practices in the past month which will be aggregated into a cumulative rate of number punishments over days. This rate will be ascertained for all participants in both trial arms three times. The main analysis will be poisson regression using generalized estimating equations (GEE) to nest persons within families and families within villages to test the main hypothesis related to the superiority of the program in reducing the rate of physical and emotional punishment over the period of the study. Outcomes will be measured at baseline, end of intervention, and follow-up (i.e., 6 months after end of intervention). The superiority of the program will be tested by including main effects for program and for time along with a program by time interaction. The linearity of the association with time will be considered to allow for the possibility of non-linear associations. Variables which reduce variance in the outcome will be considered for inclusion (sex and position (parent or child) of the reporting family member, number of children in the family, etc.). Although confounding is not expected to be an issue due to the randomization, villages will be compared on key factors and any variables showing large imbalances by randomization group will be added to the model. The investigators will adopt an intention-to-treat principle to analyze all outcomes and all persons will be analyzed in the groups to which they were randomized. A secondary analysis will estimate the impact of the program the other relevant outcomes. Program effects will also be examined using GEE to adjust for clustering of members within families and families within villages. Counts will be analyzed with poisson regression, binary outcomes with logistic regression and continuous scales with linear regression. The investigators will conduct a gender-based analysis (sex of the child) for exploratory purposes. The investigators will also explore whether families with more children or children of different age groups, or families with differently-abled children respond differently to the program. Another sub-group analyses will explore the impact of the intervention among people in single-headed households, first-time parents, and teenage parents. Analysis and reporting of the results will follow the CONSORT guidelines for reporting randomized controlled trials. Preliminary findings will be shared with the Advisory Committee and interpreted in the context of relevant policies.
