Brief Summary

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

The goals of this clinical trial to examine how pediatricians prescribing early math enriching texts to the parents of their patients affects the early math skills of under-resourced pre-kindergarten-aged children in rural Oregon. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the impact of the text intervention on early math skills in preschool-aged children? Participants will be randomized to receive the early math text intervention or standard of care. Researchers will compare pre-and-post math performance between the intervention and control group.

Detailed Description

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

The goals of this clinical trial to examine how pediatricians prescribing early math enriching texts (TipsbyText) to parents of 3-4 year olds affects the math skills of under-resourced pre-kindergarten-aged children in rural Oregon. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the impact of the text intervention on early math skills in preschool-aged children using the Research-based Early Math Assessment (REMA-Brief)? Two secondary questions of the study are: What is the impact on child literacy using the Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening Tool (PALS-PreK) and parent confidence using the Development and Research in Early Math Education (DREME)? Participants will be randomized to receive intervention (the early math text intervention) or control (no texts). Researchers will compare pre-and-post math performance on the REMA-Brief (primary outcome), PALS-PreK (secondary child outcome) and DREME (secondary parent outcome) between the intervention and control group.
