NCT ID: NCT03880383 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Autism Spectrum Disorder

BRIGHT Coaching Program for Families

Start date: August 23, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Children with, or at elevated risk for, brain-based developmental disabilities can experience lifelong consequences and challenges throughout their development. In particular, preschool years (3-6 years of age) can be stressful as families wait to get services and care for their child. Nationally and internationally, service delivery models during this critical period are not standardized, and differ within and across provinces and across patient conditions, leading to long wait times, service gaps and duplications. This study has two main hypotheses: 1. A standardized approach to "coaching" (i.e. coach + online education tools + peer support network) is feasible in the real-life context, and acceptable to caregivers and can be delivered across multiple sites in urban/suburban/rural settings. 2. A standardized approach to "coaching" enhances parental health (parents' empowerment and sense of competence, quality of life, and minimizes parenting stress), family health care experience (care coordination experience and process of care) at similar health care cost (economic analysis), when compared to usual and locally available care.

NCT ID: NCT03783104 Recruiting - Child Malnutrition Clinical Trials

Maternal B12 Supplementation to Improve Infant B12 Deficiency and Neurodevelopment

MATCOBIND
Start date: April 27, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Vitamin B12 plays a key role in the development and normal functioning of the brain and nervous system. Unborn and new-born infants derive their vitamin B12 stores almost entirely from maternal B12 stores. As such, infants who are born to vegetarian mothers and exclusively breast fed are at a high-risk of B12 deficiency. This is because the best sources of vitamin B12 are found in animal based or fortified foods (e.g. cheese, milk and eggs). Vitamin B12 deficiency is widely reported among antenatal mothers and children, particularly in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) where these food sources are uncommon. So far, studies have shown that antenatal vitamin B12 deficiency in mothers may be associated with poorer neurodevelopment in their children. Furthermore, vitamin B12 supplementation during pregnancy and early lactation has been shown to increase maternal, breast milk, and infant levels of vitamin B12. Although existing literature documents several studies on maternal vitamin B12 supplementation, there is a lack of research on the causative effect of maternal vitamin B12 supplementation on infant development. This project, funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC), will undertake a multi-centric nutritional trial in Nepal and India, as these are two LMICs where high incidence of vitamin B12 deficiency is reported.

NCT ID: NCT03010306 Completed - Child Development Clinical Trials

CASITA Intervention for Children at Risk of Delay in Carabayllo, Peru

Start date: September 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Building on an intervention for early child development from the SPARK Center in Boston, Socios En Salud (SES) pilot tested "CASITA" a community-based package to screen and treat young children (ages 1-3 years of age) diagnosed with neurodevelopment risk and delay in Carabayllo, Lima, Peru. Ministry of Health CHWs identified children with developmental delays within the clinics and community and delivered a structured early intervention that included parent coaching and social support. In order to test the hypothesis that CASITA improves early child development, caregiver, and home environment, dyads received either nutrition supplements alone, nutrition + "CASITA" early child development sessions individually, or CASITA in a group of 10 dyads.
