Tailoring a Home Supervision Intervention for Low-Income Families

Description

The investigators will pilot test (N=100 caregivers of children ages 3-4 years) the effects of a caregiver supervision intervention on caregivers' supervision and children's injury frequency using a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design. The control group will receive Services as Usual (SAU), and the treatment group will receive SAU+ SHS. The results will be used to support an R01 application to conduct a larger-scale RCT test of the program.
