Abstract
Despite the rapid dissemination of parenting programs aiming to reduce and prevent violence
against children (VAC) worldwide, there is limited knowledge about and evidence of the implementation of these
programs at scale. This study addresses this gap by assessing the quality of delivery and impact of an evidencebased parenting program for parents/caregivers and their adolescent girls aged 9 to 14—Parenting for Lifelong
Health Teens (PLH-Teens), known locally as Furaha Teens—on reducing VAC at scale in Tanzania. The study will
explore participating family and staff perspectives on program implementation and examine factors associated with
implementation and how implementation quality is associated with intervention outcomes when the program is
delivered to approximately 50,000 parent-child dyads (N = 100,000) in schools and community centers across eight
districts of Tanzania.
