Brief Summary

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

In Understanding Your Baby first-time parents receive research-based knowledge on how to interpret their infants' socioemotional needs based on their behavior, and how to meet their infants' socioemotional needs in accordance with their developmental stage. This information is delivered to parents at routine home visits by public health nurses, who are trained in the research base behind the program, and using cue cards and short video clips, which concretely exemplify how infants signal their socioemotional needs and inspire to positive activities between parents and their infants.

The aim of Understanding Your Baby is to support infant socioemotional development by increasing parents' abilities at perceiving, understanding, and responding to their infant's socioemotional signals. Evaluation is based on a parallel group study, with half of the participants receiving care as usual and half of the participants receiving care as usual and Understanding Your Baby. The primary outcome is parental sense of competence and secondary outcomes are parental stress and child socioemotional development.
