Detailed Description

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

AA parents face unique racialized stressors which negatively impact their health and the health of their children. This heavy burden of chronic stress contributes to a high prevalence of anxiety and depression in AA parents. Parent stress negatively impacts child development and family health behaviors including diet and physical activity. A culturally-tailored intervention that addresses both AA parent stress and early childhood health and development has the potential to be more effective in promoting healthy family behaviors and AA parent mental health than traditional early childhood preventive care. Guided by AA parents and community members, the investigators propose to systematically co-develop a novel intervention using two frameworks: Centering and Superwoman Schema. The novel intervention will include group parent support, training in stress management and links to relevant community resources. The investigators will then determine the feasibility, acceptability, and limited efficacy of the adapted intervention in a pilot study.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This intervention will adapt an already-existing evidence-based Centering Parenting program addressing topics that are specific to African American families. There will be 7 90 min sessions via zoom. Group education topics include (parenting goals, infant feeding and sleep, self-care). Participants will complete surveys and interviews at various times to evaluate the program. The survey topics will include: parent stress, parent confidence and thoughts about the intervention. Surveys will be completed independently by participants online via redcap at a time that is convenient to them; if requested, the coordinator may complete the survey with the participant directly by phone /zoom. Interviews will be completed with a coordinator via zoom/phone.
