SMART Africa-Uganda is a scale-up study in Uganda that utilizes an adapted version of the evidence-based Multiple Family Group (MFG) intervention. This intervention has 16 sessions that aim to address behavioral health challenges in children and adolescents. November was another busy month for the SMART Africa team as they completed baseline interviews for another round of 8 treatment arm schools. Completion of this exercise also marked the beginning of the MFG session delivery in these 8 schools with the first 3 sessions covered this month. The team registered 83% and 85% attendance rates for MFG session 1 and 2 respectively. The team will continue with the intervention for several weeks before taking a break for the holiday season. Congratulations to the team for your accomplishments this month!
