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.
