Summary

This pilot study is testing a tele-wellness app for family child care providers and parents in Baltimore City. The app offers self-care tips, parenting support, and learning games for children. Researchers want to see if it reduces stress and improves support for those caring for children of essential workers during the pandemic.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a practical way to reduce stress and improve support for child care providers and parents, especially during crises.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 270 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The app's effectiveness depends on consistent use and access to technology.
