NCT ID NCT06197997
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether the Chicago Parent Program (CPP), a 12-session group-based parenting class, can improve social-behavioral skills and school readiness in 4-5-year-olds from low-income communities. Researchers will enroll 840 families from public pre-K programs in Maryland. The goal is to see if the program reduces chronic absences, grade retention, and behavior problems while boosting parent engagement and kindergarten readiness.
