Summary

This study tested whether sending tailored text messages and connecting families to community resources could improve language and social-emotional skills in low-income Latino children. Over 660 families with infants aged 6-12 months participated. The goal was to see if these simple additions to standard pediatric care could help reduce developmental disparities.

What this could mean

Active substance
text messages and community resource referrals
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help reduce language and social-emotional skill gaps in low-income Latino children through simple, scalable interventions.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, so results are already known. The interventions are behavioral and may not produce large or lasting effects. Individual results may vary.
