Family-level correlates of disruptive behavior challenges among children in Southwestern Uganda.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: This exploratory study sought to examine the extent to which family-level factors are associated with disruptive behavioral disorder (DBD) symptoms, including oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD) among school children in Uganda, a low-resource country in SSA. The examination of key influences within the SSA context is important to guide needed investments in mental health care and family-level support. Importantly, identifying families at higher risk can inform the development of contextualized family interventions that reinforce positive parenting practices. Method: We analyzed baseline data (N = 2110) from the NIH-funded Strengthening Mental health And Research Training in Africa (SMART Africa) scale-up study in Southwestern Uganda. Children aged 8-13 and their caregivers were recruited from 30 public primary schools. DBDs were examined using the DBD rating scale, Iowa Conners, and Impairment scales. Logistic regression analysis using cluster adjusted robust standard errors to adjust for within-school clustering was conducted to assess the association between DBD symptoms and family-level factors, including parenting practices, marital status, and family size. Results: Results indicate that poor parental supervision (OR = 1.17; CI: 1.13, 1.21; P <.001), divorced families (OR = 1.33; CI: 1.03, 1.72; P <.05), and widowed families (OR = 1.48; CI: 1.10, 2.00; P <.01) were associated with higher DBD symptoms among children. On the other hand, caregiver age (OR = 0.99; CI: 0.98, 0.99; P <.01) was associated with lower DBD symptoms among children. Moreover, caregiver employment and parental education were not statistically significant in the model. Conclusion: Findings from the study reveal an association between family-level factors and behavioral difficulties among children in Uganda suggesting that divorced and widowed families may benefit from additional support in caring for children. Moreover, caregivers may also benefit from programs that provide tools for effective parental supervision.
