Summary

This study tested a program called VIPP-PUF, where community health nurses used video feedback to help parents become more sensitive to their baby's needs. The goal was to reduce mental health problems and support healthy weight in infants who showed early signs of trouble. Over 400 families in Denmark took part, and researchers measured outcomes like emotional development and weight at age 2.
