Summary
This study looks at how early life stress affects infants' cells and long-term health. Researchers will test if a 10-week parenting support program reduces stress in mothers and improves their sensitivity to their baby's needs. 250 mothers and their infants (3-12 months old) from low-income families will be randomly assigned to the program or usual care. The study measures changes in mothers' stress, parenting skills, and infants' cellular aging markers like telomere length.
