Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In a "mirror" design, mothers in the control group will receive guidance on reading with their infant using a specially designed children's book (Read Baby, Every Day), and mothers in the intervention group will receive guidance on reading with their infant using a brochure created and endorsed by the AAP.
Clinical research coordinators (CRCs) will obtain consent and collect data at two time points: 1) a 3rd trimester prenatal visit (approximately 36-38 weeks estimated gestational age; baseline), and 2) at the first, regularly scheduled postpartum visit (4-6 weeks after delivery for an uncomplicated vaginal delivery, and 2 weeks for cesarean section). Data will be collected in 4 categories, which will be compared between groups: 1) demographics, 2) maternal knowledge of AAP safe sleep recommendations, 3) maternal attitudes about reading with infants, 4) maternal impression of the printed educational materials provided, and 4) clinician impression of the feasibility and usefulness of the printed materials provided for obstetric prenatal care.
Educational materials will be shared with mothers by obstetric providers (obstetric attending physicians and residents) during this visit, who will be provided with a brief summary of content and to conduct the visit as they see fit. Mothers will be blinded to the aims of the study, other than that it is to "share information about safe sleep and reading with your baby."
