Summary
This study tests a mobile health app called OurChild, designed to help Chinese American families in Brooklyn connect with early childhood mental health resources. The app provides information and tools to support parents of children aged 2 to 6 years old. Researchers will measure whether the app increases referrals to mental health services and improves parents' confidence in managing their child's needs.
