Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Twelve-month-old infants and their mothers are assigned randomly (like tossing a coin) to receive 1 of 3 types of intervention for 12 months: 1) Services normally available in the community when a family is reported for child maltreatment (Child Protective Services, CPS); 2) CPS involvement plus weekly PHV; 3) CPS involvement plus weekly IPP. Intervention will be provided until the infant's second birthday. All mother-infant pairs (including comparison non-maltreated infants and their mothers) will be assessed when the infant is 12, 18, 24, 36, and 48 months old. Assessments will look at the effectiveness of the intervention in preventing child maltreatment, improving parenting, and reducing future abuse. The study will last for 3 years.
Eligibility includes a mother and her 12-month-old child that has been abused by her (the mother) or the father. (Non-maltreated infants and their mothers also will be enrolled.)
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Maltreated infants and their mothers are randomly assigned to 1 of 3 types of intervention for 12 months: 1) Services routinely available in the community when a family is reported for child maltreatment (Child Protective Services, CPS); 2) CPS involvement plus weekly PHV; 3) CPS involvement plus weekly IPP. Intervention is provided until the infant's second birthday. All mother-infant dyads (including comparison non-maltreated infants and their mothers) participate in baseline assessments at the infant's age of 12 months. Subsequent assessments occur at 18, 24, 36, and 48 months of age. Assessments measure three major areas: 1) family-ecological variables; 2) maternal functioning and parenting; and 3) child functioning and stage-salient issues. CPS records are monitored annually across all groups to determine whether any reports of maltreatment have been filed.
