Can video coaching boost parenting? 1,000 families join study
NCT ID NCT06941337
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two parenting support programs for families with infants up to 6 months old. One group gets standard HealthySteps support, while the other also gets PlayReadVIP, which uses video recordings of parents playing with their child to give personalized feedback. Researchers will measure parent-child relationships, child development, and parent well-being over time. The goal is to see if adding video coaching makes a meaningful difference for families facing higher stress.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- behavioral interventions: HealthySteps (parenting support) and PlayReadVIP (video coaching)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that adding video coaching to standard parenting support helps strengthen parent-child bonds and boosts early childhood development in at-risk families.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage implementation trial with no drug or device, so results may not apply broadly. The outcomes rely on parent reports, which can be biased, and the added benefit of video coaching over standard care may be small.
