ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on reducing violence by teachers in public secondary schools in Pakistan. It aims to test a program called Interaction Competencies with Children - for Teachers (ICC-T), which is designed to help teachers change their views on using violence as a way to discipline students. The study is important because violence in schools can have serious negative effects on children's mental health, well-being, and academic success. By training teachers in non-violent discipline methods, the researchers hope to create a safer and more supportive learning environment for students.

To participate in this trial, students must be enrolled in the selected secondary schools, and teachers must be employed at those schools. Participants will need to provide written consent, and if students are underage, their parents will also need to give consent. The trial is currently recruiting participants and is open to both students and teachers. If you or someone you know is interested, it’s a great opportunity to help improve the school experience for everyone involved.
