我们的目标是评估由提高声音开发的良好学校工具包在防止暴力侵害上学儿童以及改善儿童心理健康和教育成果方面的有效性。我们正在乌干达的卢韦罗地区进行一项平行分配的双臂随机对照试验。我们还将进行定性研究、过程评估和经济评估。共有42所学校，代表乌干达卢韦罗地区，被分配接受工具包加执行支助，或被分配到等待名单控制条件下。我们的主要分析将涉及对干预和控制小学的儿童在后续行动中报告的过去一周来自学校工作人员的暴力流行率的横断面比较。每所学校至少有60名儿童和所有学校工作人员将在后续工作中接受采访。数据收集包括基于手机的、面试者填写的问卷和纸笔教育测试的组合。调查工具包括ISPCAN儿童虐待筛查工具，用于评估暴力经历；长处和困难问卷，用于衡量常见儿童精神障碍的症状；以及单词识别、阅读理解、拼写、算术和持续注意力测试，改编自肯尼亚的一项干预试验。据我们所知，这是第一项严格调查任何干预措施的效果的研究，以防止低收入环境下从学校工作人员到小学儿童的暴力行为。我们希望结果将在整个非洲区域和其他环境中提供信息。临床试验.gov NCT01678846
We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of the Good School Toolkit, developed by Raising Voices, in preventing violence against children attending school and in improving child mental health and educational outcomes. We are conducting a two-arm cluster randomised controlled trial with parallel assignment in Luwero District, Uganda. We will also conduct a qualitative study, a process evaluation and an economic evaluation. A total of 42 schools, representative of Luwero District, Uganda, were allocated to receive the Toolkit plus implementation support, or were allocated to a wait-list control condition. Our main analysis will involve a cross-sectional comparison of the prevalence of past-week violence from school staff as reported by children in intervention and control primary schools at follow-up. At least 60 children per school and all school staff members will be interviewed at follow-up. Data collection involves a combination of mobile phone-based, interviewer-completed questionnaires and paper-and-pen educational tests. Survey instruments include the ISPCAN Child Abuse Screening Tools to assess experiences of violence; the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire to measure symptoms of common childhood mental disorders; and word recognition, reading comprehension, spelling, arithmetic and sustained attention tests adapted from an intervention trial in Kenya. To our knowledge, this is the first study to rigorously investigate the effects of any intervention to prevent violence from school staff to children in primary school in a low-income setting. We hope the results will be informative across the African region and in other settings. clinicaltrials.gov NCT01678846
