SMART Africa-Kenya is a pilot study that tests the effectiveness of the Multiple Family Group (MFG) Intervention amongst approximately 180 children and their caregivers in Kiambu County, Kenya. This summer, members of SMART Africa-Kenya, Anne Mbwayo and Manasi Kumar, attended the 4th Annual Conference on Child Behavioral Health that took place in Uganda in late July. In addition to participating in a panel discussion about research opportunities for scholars in Sub-Saharan Africa, the team also joined the SMART Africa-Ghana team to discuss challenges and successes encountered during study implementation. Following the conference, the Kenya team used the holiday break (while schools were not in session) to map out the study timeline, staff roles, and activities for research and implementation which are set to begin in September. The team is also conducting a final review of all implementation and research materials. All eight community health workers (CHW) and parent peers have passed the qualification exam and are ready to deliver MFG sessions this September.
