Results section, fifth paragraph
The overall combined ratio of post-intervention to pre-intervention of 0.35 (95% CI 0.26 to 0.49) translates into a 65% decrease in physical violence scores from pre-intervention to post-intervention.
Contexto
What changed: Adolescents and their caregivers completed a 14-week evidence-based parenting programme integrated into routine government and NGO services. Comparison: Post-intervention scores versus pre-intervention baseline within the same individuals. Limits: Lack of an untreated control group limits causal attribution, reliance on brief self-report screening measures, and substantial setting heterogeneity.
