简要总结
This proposed study will assess how COVID-19 and the associated 'stay at home' orders are affecting low-income Rwandan couples' relationships and family dynamics. The study builds on an existing randomized controlled trial of the Bandebereho fathers/couples intervention (NCT02694627), which will allow us to assess not only the current conditions in households, but also whether or how the significant impacts of the intervention are sustained under extreme stress.
详细描述
This proposed study will assess how COVID-19 and the associated 'stay at home' orders are affecting low-income Rwandan couples' relationships and family dynamics. It will contribute to documenting whether and how this disruptive moment might be changing or influencing relationship dynamics, conflict, and the distribution of care-work. We will build on an existing randomized controlled trial of the Bandebereho fathers/couples intervention, which will allow us to assess not only the current conditions in households, but also whether or how the significant impacts of the intervention are sustained under extreme stress. The Bandebereho fathers/couples intervention was implemented by the Rwanda Men's Resource Center (RWAMREC) and Promundo-US, in collaboration with the Rwanda Ministry of Health and local authorities in Karongi, Musanze, Nyaruguru and Rwamagana districts from 2013-2015. Results from a randomized controlled study of Bandebereho, a gender transformative intervention for expectant couples originally implemented in 4 districts in 2015, showed positive results across multiple outcomes after 21 months.
