In plain English

Key information made simple

This study is looking at extend the first intergenerational study of war in Sub-Saharan Africa (R01HD073349) to focus on children (aged 7-24) born to war-affected parents for people with depression or anxiety. Participants are followed over time so researchers can learn from clinical and follow-up information. This study may not offer a new treatment, and its main value is helping researchers learn from follow-up information that may improve future care.

What to expect

Your next step

The official record suggests in-person participation through a research setting, with sites including Caritas Freetown. Participation appears to center on assessments, scans, or samples rather than trying a new treatment. The main fit is usually meeting the main study requirements, while common reasons not to take part include other factors that could make participation unsuitable. The official record does not list a trial phase, which usually means the study is focused on observation rather than testing a staged treatment.
