Summary

This study tests whether a 10-session parenting program called Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC) can reduce stress-related biomarkers in children aged 2 to 3.5 years who have experienced early adversity. About 150 caregiver-child pairs will be randomly assigned to receive the program immediately or after a 4-month wait. Researchers will measure stress hormones, immune markers, and child well-being to see if the program helps.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC) parenting program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a short parenting program can lower children's stress hormones and improve their long-term health.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study measuring biological markers, not a treatment. Results may not show clear benefits, and the program may not work for all families.
