First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a Parent Navigator Program (PNP) helps Latino/x families of babies with congenital heart disease get connected to developmental follow-up services. Forty families will be randomly assigned to either receive support from a parent with lived experience or standard care. Researchers will measure clinic visits, child development scores, and parental stress at 6 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Parent Navigator Program (behavioral intervention)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could show that connecting families with a trained parent mentor improves access to early developmental care and lowers parental stress.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program may not significantly improve outcomes compared to standard care.
