NCT ID NCT03517475
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a program that teaches low-income caregivers how to better supervise their young children (ages 3-4) to prevent injuries. 89 caregivers took part, with half receiving the training plus usual services and half receiving only usual services. Researchers measured supervision levels and how often children got injured.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- caregiver supervision training program
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could help reduce childhood injuries in low-income homes by improving caregiver supervision.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 89 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral and may not work for all families.
