Summary

This study tested a home-based video coaching program called FIND for 160 low-income caregivers with children aged 12-36 months. The program films caregivers interacting with their child and provides feedback to boost supportive parenting. Researchers measured parenting stress, child behavior, and brain activity to see if the program helps families facing economic adversity.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Filming Interactions to Nurture Development (FIND) video coaching program
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a simple, scalable way to support caregivers facing economic hardship and improve children's development.
What could go wrong: This is a completed trial with 160 participants, so results are limited in size and may not apply to all families. The intervention is behavioral, so effects may be modest or hard to sustain long-term.
