Detailed Description

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

Enriching parenting behaviors in early childhood promotes child development and offers a promising strategy to reduce future educational disparities. However, current interventions are limited by cost and have not been widely disseminated. Recognized as a target for research to improve early childhood development and school readiness among at-risk families, the primary care setting offers an ideal opportunity to reach the millions of children living in poverty.However, what remains unknown is how to more efficiently leverage the primary care setting to deliver a sustainable and effective preventive intervention to promote positive parenting behaviors and encourage early childhood development in low-income families. Therefore, the investigators designed Sit Down and Play (SDP) a brief parent-directed program delivered in the primary care setting. Modeled after the widely disseminated literacy program Reach Out and Read and grounded in social cognitive theory, SDP is intended to take place during each pediatric well-child visit occurring in a child's first two years with the goal of promoting positive parenting behaviors.

Study Groups

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

SDP

Families randomized to intervention group will receive Sit Down and Play while they wait in the waiting room to be seen by their primary care provider at current and subsequent well-child visit.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sit Down and Play

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Sit Down and Play (SDP) is designed to be a brief, low-cost intervention that incorporates key theoretical constructs to elicit positive parenting behaviors. It is intended to be delivered by existing clinical staff, nonprofessionals, or volunteers during each of the eight well-child visits between 2-24 months of age while a family waits to be seen by their pediatrician in the examination room.

CDC Handout

Families in the control group will receive the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Handout at enrollment.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
