Trial of KEEP-P, a Preventive Intervention for Foster Preschoolers

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Randomized Trial of KEEP-P, a Preventive Intervention for Foster Preschoolers (KEEP-P). The goal of the proposed study is to conduct a randomized clinical trial of a new, low-cost, manualized, group-based intervention for preschoolers and their caregivers. The investigators will examine the extent to which the two intervention conditions show improved parenting, reduced rates of disrupted placements, and improved child outcomes.

Clinical Trial Description

Randomized Trial of KEEP-P, a Preventive Intervention for Foster Preschoolers (KEEP-P).

Preschool-aged foster and other high-risk children are at increased risk for numerous negative outcomes. However, there is very limited use of evidence-based interventions for these young children. Major barriers to progress in this area include a lack of available evidence-based programs for high-risk children across the preschool years and the tendency for the few existing evidence-based interventions to be resource intensive in terms of funding and the level of staff expertise required to be implemented with fidelity. Readily scalable, evidence-based interventions for foster and other high-risk preschoolers are clearly needed to reduce the widespread disparities. The goal of the proposed study is to conduct a randomized clinical trial of a new, low-cost, manualized, group-based intervention for caregivers of preschool aged children. The investigators propose to evaluate two versions of the intervention: (a) a basic version that employs a curriculum consisting of 12 weekly psychoeducational caregiver support groups and (b) an augmented version that consists of the caregiver support groups with extended curriculum including with the addition of information about recent findings in early brain development and the elements of the Filming Interactions to Nurture Development (FIND) video coaching program. Across four waves of data collection (baseline, immediately postintervention, and 12 and 18 months postbaseline), the investigators will examine the extent to which the two intervention conditions show improved parenting, reduced rates of disrupted placements, and improved child outcomes. The investigators will conduct multivariate modeling to examine mediating mechanisms underlying the hypothesized immediate and longer- term intervention effects.

Finally, the investigators will conduct a comprehensive economic evaluation to examine the incremental costs associated with implementing the intervention and the benefits realized in the intervention conditions in terms of increased positive outcomes for children. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
