Summary

This study tests whether a family wellness program helps Latino children entering kindergarten improve their language, literacy, and social-emotional skills. The program includes 8 weekly summer workshops, booster sessions, and text messages over 10 months. Researchers will compare these families to those receiving usual care plus school supplies and a resource list.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Family Wellness Program (behavioral intervention with workshops, text messages, and booster sessions)
What this could lead to
If it works, this program could help Latino children start kindergarten with stronger language, literacy, and social-emotional skills, and improve family health routines.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with 396 families. The program may not lead to lasting improvements, and results may not apply to other groups.
