First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a 10-week parenting program called Promoting First Relationships works as well when delivered over Zoom as it does in person. About 357 parents of babies aged 6-12 months who are involved with child welfare will be randomly assigned to in-home sessions, telehealth sessions, or a control group. Researchers will measure changes in parent sensitivity, child behavior, and whether children are placed in foster care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Promoting First Relationships (PFR) parenting program delivered via telehealth or in-home visits

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that telehealth parenting support works as well as in-home visits, making it easier for families in child welfare to access help.

What could go wrong

This is a behavioral study, not a medical treatment, so results may vary by family. The trial is still recruiting and outcomes depend on engagement and technology access.
