Measuring the dosage of brief and skill-targeted social-emotional learning (SEL) activities in humanitarian settings.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In humanitarian settings, social-emotional learning (SEL) programs for children are often delivered using a field-feasible approach where the programs are more easily deployable and adaptable in the field, require minimal training, and depend less on the strict sequence and structure of the program components to elicit the intended treatment effect.
