The HuggyPuppy Intervention for War-related Distress

This clinical trial will test the efficacy of parent-delivered HuggyPuppy Intervention in alleviating war-related stress in children aged 3-8 during the Gaza-Israel war. Moreover, it will test whether the type of doll provided moderates the efficacy of the intervention. Children will be provided a doll (\'Huggy\') of to their homes or places of shelter, and asked to take care of it. Five different types of dolls will be randomly assigned to children. Pre-intervention, parents will complete a brief questionnaire asking about the child\'s past week stress symptoms, and exposure to traumatic war-experiences. Three weeks following the intervention, parents will be asked to complete a post-intervention questionnaire, asking about the child\'s symptoms, their own anxiety, depression, and stress, as well as their use of the intervention.
