Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a proposed home visitation program for families of children with externalizing behaviors who are on the wait list for psychiatric assessment at BC Children's hospital. The aim of this program is to implement and evaluate a home visitation strategy in order to support those waiting up to four months to consult a psychiatrist.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Home visitation program was developed in response to long wait lists for the Infant Psychiatry Program. This home visitation program intervention consists of the following components: Developmental guidance, empowerment of parents while respecting the parent-child attachment, and child centered interactional guidance. The home visitors ( a PhD student and a Masters level student) visit consenting families and gave the parents an opportunity to voice their concerns regarding their child's behaviors. They were instructed to co-construct a play that had to be child led. Home visitors facilitated this task. Parents completed the Child Behavior Checklist and Parenting Stress Index prior to and after the intervention. These home visitations occurred approximately once a month whilst the families were on the wait list for clinical assessment and treatment. Those families that were randomized in control group did not receive any intervention.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Waitlist families

Experimental arm consisted of randomized waitlist families who received home visitation where mothers were taught to play with their children in a developmentally appropriate manner and also engaged in a co-construction task.

Control arm families did not get any active intervention. Parents from both arm types completed pre and post questionnaires to measure child's externalizing behaviors and parenting stress.

Parents from experimental group were encouraged to keep a diary of their play record.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Clinical home visitation

Intervention Type OTHER

Clinical Home visitation consisted of once a month visits to families on the experimental group. During those visits home visitors facilitated developmentally appropriate play guidance and co-construction tasks for the dyad.
