Clinical Trial Summary

This study involves a long-term outcome study of the Catholic Health Initiative St. Joseph's Children (CHI SJC) program using a randomized control study. The purpose of this study is to determine the short-term and long-term impact and effectiveness of the CHI SJC program. The CHI SJC program has not been studied to determine program effectiveness. The investigators intend to follow families and their children until the children in the study graduate from high-school or turn 19 years of age. The study, as a template, uses the eight outcome domains listed and described in the Home Visiting Evidence of Effectiveness website (http://homvee.acf.hhs.gov/outcomes.aspx). These eight domains are: - Child development and school readiness - Family economic self-sufficiency - Maternal health - Reductions in child maltreatment - Child health - Linkages and referrals - Positive parenting practices - Reductions in juvenile delinquency, family violence, and crime The investigators expect to observe significant differences among the two groups with respect to the primary outcome domains listed. The investigators expect study group members randomized to the CHI SJC program will perform better on the eight outcome domains. Other hypotheses include: Other Hypotheses: Hypothesis 1. Randomization to CHI SJC will be associated with higher quality functioning and better child health and well-being. Hypothesis 2. Randomization to CHI SJC will result in more connections to community resources. Hypothesis 3. Randomization to CHI SJC will result in improved indications of maternal health and positive parenting practices. Hypothesis 4. Randomization to CHI SJC will be associated with higher measures of family economic self-sufficiency. Hypothesis 5. Randomization to CHI SJC will be associated with increased school readiness and school progress and attainment. Hypothesis 6. Randomization to CHI SJC will be associated with reductions in juvenile delinquency, family violence, and crime. The study will collect outcome data in the same way and, at the same time, from treatment and control group members. Data collection will primarily be comprised of a set of self-report questionnaires and a review of administrative records that target the outcome domains described earlier. Study group members will be assessed at baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 3 years, 5 years, 8 years, 12 years, 15 years, and at high-school graduation or 19 years of age.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Child development and school readiness - Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) to Measure Change at Time Frame Points The CBCL is widely used to identify problem behavior in children. Problems are identified by a respondent who knows the child well, usually a parent or other caregiver. There are two versions of the checklist. The preschool checklist is intended for use with children aged 18 months to 5 years. The school-age version is for children aged 6 to 18 years. Administration takes 10 to 15 minutes. The checklist uses a 3 point scale (minimum 1 to maximum 3) with higher scores indicating a worse outcome.
The CBCL is made up of eight syndrome scales:
anxious/depressed
depressed
somatic complaints
social problems
thought problems
attention problems
rule-breaking behavior
aggressive behavior
These group into two higher order factors-internalizing and externalizing.
The 2001 revision added six DSM-oriented scales:
affective problems
anxiety problems
somatic problems
ADHD
oppositional defiant problems
conduct problems
5 years, 8 years, 12 years, 15 years
Primary Child Development and School Readiness - Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) to Measure Change at Time Frame Points The Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) provide reliable, accurate developmental and social-emotional screening for children between birth and age 6. The ASQ is designed to pinpoint developmental progress and catch delays in young children. The core of the ASQ is 21 questionnaires, each with 30 items that correspond to age intervals from birth to 6 years. The ASQ has been validated in many countries and translated into numerous languages. The ASQ takes between 10 and 15 minutes to administer.
The parent-completed questionnaires are designed to screen the developmental performance of children in the areas of:
communication,
gross motor skills,
fine motor skills,
problem solving, and
personal-social skills
The form uses a 3 point scale (minimum 1 to maximum 3) with lower scores indicating a worse outcome.
Birth/baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, and 36 months
Primary Child Development and School Readiness - School Records to Measure Change at Time Frame Points Review of school records including standardized test scores, and grades. Standardized test scores, and grades will be combined to measure academic growth. 5 years, 8 years, 12 years, and 15 years
Primary Maternal Health - Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale Maternal health will be measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EDPS). The EDPS is a 10 item questionnaire developed to identify women who may have postpartum depression. A very high EPDS score could suggest a crisis, other mental health issues or unresolved trauma.
The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale is a widely used screening tool for postpartum depression. The form uses a 3-point scale (minimum 1 to maximum 3) and higher overall scores indicate depression.
Baseline/Birth
Primary Maternal Health - Brief Symptom Inventory The Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), a brief psychological self-report symptom scale and will be used to measure maternal stress. The BSI is a 53-item questionnaire covering nine symptom dimensions of depression:
Somatization
Obsession-compulsion
Interpersonal sensitivity
Depression
Anxiety
Hostility
Phobic anxiety
Paranoid ideation
Psychoticism
The BSI also includes three global indices of distress:
Global Severity Index,
Positive Symptom Distress Index, and
Positive Symptom Total.
These measure number and intensity of reported symptoms, as well as the current or past level of symptomology. It can be administered in approximately 4 minutes. The BSI uses a 5-point rating scale (minimum 1 to maximum 5) with higher scores indicating a worse outcome.
Baseline/Birth
Primary Maternal Health - CAGE-AID The CAGE-AID is a validated substance abuse screening tool used to screen for alcohol and drug use and will be used to measure primary outcomes surrounding substance abuse. The CAGE-AID consists of 4 questions and takes one minute to administer. One or more positive answers to the CAGE-AID are considered a positive screen. Baseline/Birth
Primary Maternal Health - Program Administrative Records Catholic Health Initiatives St. Joseph's Children (CHI SJC) administrative records for study group members collected by CHI SJC staff members, which include breastfeeding information, parent employment and education, and number of emergency room visits. These measures will be combined to measure maternal health. Baseline/Birth
Primary Child Health - Program Administrative Records Catholic Health Initiatives St. Joseph's Children (CHI SJC) administrative records for study group members collected by CHI SJC staff members, which include breastfeeding information, parent employment and education, and number of emergency room visits. These measures will be combined to measure child health. Baseline/Birth
Primary Child Health - Adult Adolescent Parenting Inventory (AAPI-2) to Measure Change at Time Frame Points The AAPI-2 is designed to assess the parenting and child-rearing attitudes of adolescents and adults and measures child health. It is a 40 item inventory with five subscales designed to assess the parenting and child-rearing attitudes of adult and adolescent parent and pre-parent populations. It takes, on average, between 10 and 15 minutes to complete. Scores range from 1-10 with lower scores indicating worse outcomes.
Responses to the AAPI-2 provide an index of risk in five specific parenting and child-rearing behaviors:
Construct A - Expectations of Children
Construct B - Empathy Towards Children's Needs
Construct C - Use of Corporal Punishment as a Means of Discipline
Construct D - Parent-Child Role Responsibilities
Construct E - Children's Power and Independence
Adolescents as young as 13 years old can respond to the AAPI-2. The AAPI-2 is a validated and reliable inventory used to assess parenting attitudes.
Birth, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months, and 5 years
Primary Child Health - Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) to Measure Change at Time Frame Points The M-CHAT is designed to screen children aged 16 to 30 months for an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The 23-item, parent-completed form generally takes 5 to 7 minutes to be completed and a brief time for staff to score. All items are scored as "yes"=1 or "no"=0 with higher scores indicating increased risk. 6 months, 18 months, 24 months, and 36 months
Primary Child Health - Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) to Measure Change at Time Frame Points The Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) provide reliable, accurate developmental and social-emotional screening for children between birth and age 6. The ASQ is designed to pinpoint developmental progress and catch delays in young children. The core of the ASQ is 21 questionnaires, each with 30 items that correspond to age intervals from birth to 6 years. The ASQ has been validated in many countries and translated into numerous languages. The ASQ takes between 10 and 15 minutes to administer.
The parent-completed questionnaires are designed to screen the developmental performance of children in the areas of:
communication,
gross motor skills,
fine motor skills,
problem solving, and
personal-social skills
The form uses a 3 point scale (minimum 1 to maximum 3) with lower scores indicating a worse outcome.
Birth, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months
Primary Child Health - Abidin Parenting Stress Index Short Form (PSI-SF) to Measure Change at Time Frame Points Child health will be assessed using the Abidin Parenting Stress Index Short Form (PSI-SF). The instrument is a well-validated 36 item measure of perceived stress in the parenting role with sound test-retest reliability and internal consistency. The PSI/SF yields a Total Stress score from three scales:
Parental Distress,
Parent-Child Dysfunctional Interaction, and
Difficult Child.
Average time to complete is 10 minutes. Each item is rated on a 5 point scale (minimum 1 to maximum 5) with higher scores indicating more stress.
6 month, 12 month, 18 month, 24 month, 36 month
Primary Child Maltreatment - Conflict Tactics Scale Parent-Child Form (CTS-PC) to Measure Change at Time Frame Points The CTS-PC is one of the most widely used instruments for identifying domestic violence and will be used to measure child maltreatment. The CTS-PC is a 35 item tool that is intended to measure psychological and physical maltreatment, and neglect of children by parents as well as non violent modes of discipline. Specifically, it measures if a parent has carried out acts of physical and psychological aggression, regardless of whether or not the child is injured. The assessment tool is a self-report measurement tool. The tool uses an 8-point scale (minimum 0 to maximum 7) with higher scores indicating greater conflict. 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months, 5 years, 8 years, 12 years and 15 years
Primary Reduction in Child Maltreatment - Parenting Sense of Competence (PSOC) to Measure Change at Time Frame Points The 17-item PSOC can be used to measure program outcomes, and, in other contexts, to measure a parent's level of perceived competence. It can also be used to measure satisfaction in parenting, and confidence in parenting efficacy individually, or as a combined total measure.
The PSOC was developed to assess parenting self-esteem using two rationally derived scales, as Efficacy and Satisfaction. The Efficacy factor examines the parents' competence, capability levels, and problem-solving abilities in their parental role; the Satisfaction factor examines the parents' anxiety, motivation and frustration. Average time to complete is less than 5 minutes. Each item is scored on a 6-point scale (minimum 1 to maximum 6) with higher scores equaling greater self-esteem.
