Promoting Math in Young Children: Leveraging Pediatric Clinics to Reach Underrepresented Children in Rural Communities

Description

The goals of this clinical trial to examine how pediatricians prescribing early math enriching texts to the parents of their patients affects the early math skills of under-resourced pre-kindergarten-aged children in rural Oregon. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the impact of the text intervention on early math skills in preschool-aged children? Participants will be randomized to receive the early math text intervention or standard of care. Researchers will compare pre-and-post math performance between the intervention and control group.
