Detailed Description

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

We aimed to introduce Conscious Discipline (CD) in Grenada as a means of improving neurodevelopment in 2-year-old children. The CD intervention promotes improved social-emotional connections between parents/guardians and children that reduces harsh discipline and corporal punishment and provides an ideal environment for the development of higher cognitive functioning (e.g. working memory, inhibition, emotional regulation).

The intervention is implemented by using a distributed local, train-the-trainer model in partnership with the Grenada Roving Caregiver Program, managed by GRENCASE. CD training was provided to 85 existing Roving Caregivers, 70 of whom were certified as Conscious Discipline Paraprofessionals (CDPPs). Certified CDPPs traveled out to communities and villages throughout Grenada, to impart knowledge and skills to new and expecting parents.

Following the intervention, parents who received CD training were assessed in their ability to implement CD skills with their child(ren). Neurocognition was assessed in children post-intervention using the INTERGROWTH 21st Neurodevelopmental Assessment (INTERNDA). Neurocognitive outcomes were compared between the intervention arm and the waitlist control arm of the study.

Study Groups

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

Conscious Discipline Intervention Group

Participants in this group received one-on-one Conscious Discipline classes with a Roving Caregiver. These classes consisted of the dissemination of Conscious Discipline Skills and fun songs, games, and activities to foster connections between the infant and caregiver. Both the infant and caregiver received the intervention simultaneously.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Conscious Discipline-Based Environmental Enrichment Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Conscious Discipline, a social-emotional skills-based learning program that draws on current brain research and fosters enhanced connections between parents and their children.

Control

Participants in this group did not receive the intervention.
