The PANTHERS (Parents and iNfants Together in Home-based Early Remote Services) Project

Description

The PANTHERS (Parents And iNfants Together in Home-based Early Remote Services) Projects is a study funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to evaluate the efficacy and maintenance of a remote home-based preventive intervention, the Infant Behavior Program (IBP), to decrease behavior problems in infants from high-risk families. All families will participate in five remote evaluations in their home, and families will also receive 6 remote treatment sessions of either the IBP or the EPPC. All participant procedures will be conducted remotely.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Infants ages 12 to 18 months and at least one primary caretaker, who is at least 18-years-old and in most cases will be the mother
  • * Elevated score (\> 75th percentile) on the problem scale of the Brief Infant-Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment (BITSEA; Briggs-Gowan et al., 2004)
  • * An English-speaking or Spanish-speaking primary caregiver.
  • * Infants with major sensory impairment (e.g., deafness blindness) or several problems that impair mobility (e.g., cerebral palsy)
  • * Significant cognitive delay in the primary caregiver (i.e., estimated IQ score \< 70 on the vocabulary subtest of the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence - Second Edition (WASI-II) for those speaking English or an average standard score \< 4 on the vocabulary subtest of the Escala de Inteligencia Wechsler Para Adultos - Third Edition (EIWA-III) for those speaking Spanish)
  • * Families involved with child protection services, which is expected to be low based on our pilot trials
