Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Summary

This study tests whether a 10-week parenting support program (PFR-PC) can reduce stress in mothers and slow cellular aging in their infants. Researchers will measure telomere length and epigenetic age from blood samples of 250 mother-infant pairs from under-resourced families. The goal is to understand how early life stress gets 'under the skin' and whether supportive parenting can make a difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Promoting First Relationships in Primary Care (PFR-PC) parenting program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that supporting parents reduces stress and slows cellular aging in children, pointing toward ways to improve long-term health.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study measuring biological markers, not health outcomes. The intervention may not change stress or aging, and results may not apply to other populations.
