Filter by:The goal of this mixed-methods study is to describe the association between the level of parent/adolescent discordance in the assessment of the adolescent's level of suicidal intentionality after a suicid attempt and the evolution of the suicidal crisis by assessing the evolution of the adolescent's suicidal intentionality between T0 and 3 months. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To show the association between the level of parent/adolescent discordance in the assessment of the adolescent's level of suicidal intent after a suicid attempt and various markers of the evolution of the suicidal crisis at 3 months. - Explore the experience of adolescents and their parents regarding the elements they consider relevant in assessing the adolescent's suicidal intent. Participants will be asked to complete various self- and hetero-questionnaires at T0 and T3
Feasibility RCT to ask: Can the investigators coproduce, with parent collaborators, a new service, Infant Parent Support (IPS), to improve the mental health of children with a social worker? Can the investigators test the feasibility of an RCT of IPS compared with services as usual?
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of the Reach Out and Read program on infants and their families in the neonatal ICU. The main goals of this study are: - To complete a needs assessment for literacy interventions in the NICU population through evaluating baseline home literacy scores. - To evaluate the effects of the ROR intervention on parental stress levels as assessed by the 6-question State-Trait Anxiety Index (STAI-6) - To evaluate the effects of the ROR intervention on parent-infant bonding by comparing scores on the 25-item Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ) - To evaluate the effects of the ROR intervention on the home literacy environment by comparing home literacy scores Participants will complete three questionnaires that include demographic information, home literacy scores, the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire and the State-Trait Anxiety Index; once at study enrollment, once at 36 weeks corrected gestational age, and once at 3 months corrected gestational age. Researchers will compare the control group (standard care) and a group that receives Reach Out and Read education to see whether exposure to Reach Out and Read affects literacy behaviors, parental anxiety, and parent-infant bonding.
Addressing the impact of early childhood adversity (e.g., family violence, parental depression, and low income) can promote children's mental health and development, giving children the best start in life and reducing societal health inequities. Family violence, depression, and low income undermine parent-child relationship quality linked to mental health and developmental problems in children that tend to persist over the lifespan. Parents' reflective function (RF), i.e., the capacity to understand their own and their child's thoughts, feelings, and mental states, can strengthen parent-child relationships and buffer the negative impacts of early adversity on children. Investigators have developed and tested an effective intervention program called ATTACH™ (Attachment and Child Health) for parents and their preschool-aged children at-risk of early adversity. In research with 90 families, investigators found the intervention significantly improved RF, parent-child relationship quality, and children's mental health and development. When COVID-19 prevented in-person intervention at the same time as demand soared for ATTACH™, investigators developed and pilot tested (n=10) an Online platform or "platform" with our community partners, including parents, to deliver the program virtually. The purpose of the study is to propose an effective implementation hybrid (EIH) Type II study of the ATTACH™ Online platform. Co-primary objectives evaluate clinical intervention effectiveness and implementation strategy feasibility of the ATTACH™ Online platform in naturalistic, real-world settings delivered by community partner agencies serving families affected by early adversity in Alberta.
This project is the first to evaluate the effect and experience of the parent program AFFEKT, through a randomized controlled trial and qualitative study, within primary health care. The project will recruit 200 parents of children with externalizing behaviors, and evaluate the effect of AFFEKT and psychoeducation versus psychoeducation alone, on children's behaviors and mental health, and the parent's strategies and mental health. Through interviews the experience of AFFEKT will be investigated.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-week mobile app-based intervention in empowering and supporting Chinese parents of ASD children through knowledge and skills transfer and mindfulness training, to explore factors associated with enhanced user experiences and sustained usage through participants' qualitative feedback and observing naturalistic usage patterns beyond the active intervention period, and to refine the mobile app based on the data prior to wider dissemination of the app. We hypothesise that there will be a greater reduction in parental stress and mood symptoms, and improvement of mindfulness attitude and parenting competence in parents with ASD children after the 6-week app-based intervention than the waitlist controls.
Over 7 million children in the U.S. receive support for a developmental delay or disability (DD). For caregivers of these children, behavior issues that often accompany their child's condition create high levels of stress leading to increased mental and physical health issues and impacts on caregiver-child interactions and family functioning. Although evidence-based practices exist to help caregivers with their child's behavioral development, access to these services is often limited by rigid delivery models requiring in-person visits that can delay support and further increase the burden on families. These barriers are disproportionately higher for families of color and for those in low resource situations: an effect that has been exacerbated by reductions in services due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The overall objective of this project is to develop and implement a telehealth delivery model of rapid-response, evidence-based behavioral support to be provided in conjunction with an existing family navigation program (Undivided) serving parents of children with DD to create a commercially marketable product that will reduce barriers to services in local communities across the country. This project will test the feasibility and acceptability of the Family Advice Text and Telephone (FASTT) support service for caregivers of young children. This Phase 1 application will enable a collaborative process to adapt evidence-based behavioral support to the specific needs of families of children ages birth to 12 with DD and integrate that support within the existing family navigation service. The rationale for the work is that providing effective, personalized support through the widely accessible mediums of text and telephone will get caregivers the help they need when and where they have time to access it and close in time to the behavioral issues they need help with, thus reducing caregiver stress and increasing their sense of competence and positive interactions with their child. Aim 1 determines the feasibility of delivering evidence-based behavioral support to caregivers of children with disabilities using on-demand text messaging. Aim 2 gauges the acceptability of the text-based support service to caregivers. Aim 3 assesses the extent to which text-based support reduces caregiver stress, improves caregiver sense of competence, and builds more positive perceptions of their child's behavior and their relationship with their child.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of a music enrichment program on the quality of parent child interactions, a child's motivation to eat, and a child's language environment in 9 to 24 month-old children from low-income families. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does participation in a music enrichment program improve the quality of parent-child interactions? 2. Does participation in a music enrichment program reduce motivation for food 3. Does participation in a music enrichment program improve the quality of the language environment? Participants will: 1. Be randomly assigned to participate in either 2, 8-week semesters of weekly music enrichment classes or play group sessions. 2. At the beginning, after the first 8 weeks and after the second 8 weeks, a researcher will come to the participants house and parent-child pairs will: 1. be video recorded during 10 minutes of playtime and meal time. 2. fill out questionnaires 3. wear a small wearable language recorder for 16 hours 3. At the beginning, after the first 8 weeks and after the second 8 weeks, the parent and child will come to the baby lab and will: 1. Play a computer game to test motivation for food 2. have height and weight measurements collected Researchers will compare the music and play groups to see if there is a difference in the quality of parent child interaction, food motivation or language environment.
Growing evidence demonstrates that secure attachment in childhood predicts children's healthy social, biological, and behavioral functioning, whereas insecure attachment predicts behavior problems and physiological dysregulation; thus, efforts to foster secure attachment are crucial for promoting the healthy development of children and families. This proposal describes a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of an innovative intervention program that can be widely implemented designed to foster children's secure attachment, promote healthy physiological regulation, and reduce the risk for behavior problems: The Circle of Security ® Parenting (COS-P) intervention. To this end, investigators will conduct an RCT with 249 parent-child dyads enrolled or are eligible but not yet enrolled in two diverse Early Head Start (EHS) programs.
The primary objective of this pilot intervention study is to build upon the Connecting and Reflecting Experience (CARE) clinical trial [Clinical Trials Number: NCT04580459] and evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary outcomes of CARE when implemented via tele-health among caregivers of transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) youth (TGNB-CARE). The main questions it aims to answer are: - To determine the feasibility and acceptability of the CARE treatment adaptation for caregivers of TGNB youth following the 12-session, mentalizing-focused, group parenting intervention. The study team hypothesizes that the adaptation and implementation of the CARE intervention will be found to be feasible and acceptable for study participants. - To assess whether self-reported parenting stress and stressors, parental acceptance, parental reflective functioning, parent positive feelings, and perceived interpersonal support improve among study participants following the 12-session, mentalizing-focused, group parenting intervention. The study team hypothesizes that the CARE treatment group adaptation will show improvements across these outcomes. Caregivers will be asked to complete surveys at baseline (T0), following their first session (T1), and at post-intervention (T2). A feedback interview will also be completed at T2.
