Like I’ve said before, I really like strong minds, but we need an adequately powered RCT vs. cash. This should be a priority, not just a down-the-line thing to do. That their current RCT doesn’t have a purely cash arm is borderline negligence- I could barely believe it when I read the protocol. I wonder how the Strongminds team justified this, especially when the study involves cash anyway.
And the cash transfer should be about as much as the therapy costs (100-150 dollars)
An RCT with both HLI approved subjective wellbeing measures and a couple of other traditional measures would surely answer this question to the level that we would have a very good indication on just how highly to rate strongminds.
Thanks so much for this
