Summary

This study tested a program called Room to Grow that gives low-income mothers counseling, baby supplies, and community referrals for three years. Researchers wanted to see if this support improves children's development, parenting skills, and mothers' mental health. The trial enrolled 322 pregnant women in New York City and measured outcomes like depression, stress, and child cognitive skills.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Room to Grow program (counseling, baby items, community referrals)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could offer a model for helping low-income families improve children's early development and reduce parental stress.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with no follow-up beyond 25 months, so long-term benefits are unknown. Results may not apply to other settings or populations.
