The effect of a low intensity intervention on the wellbeing of children in the juvenile justice system in India: Results from a pilot study
This intervention, comprising YFS creation, MHL enhancement, and referral system development, is significantly associated with improved well-being of children in CCIs. The results underscore the need for tailored interventions based on gender, location, and child type. The study highlights the potential scalability of such programs in resource-constrained settings for vulnerable children.
