Read the detailed description

The MOM Program is a 3 year randomized controlled trial of mothers and newborns. At enrollment subjects are given a questionnaire to assess self efficacy and a non-verbal test of intelligence. Program personnel are blind to the results of this testing. Test results will be used in data analysis at the end of the study to compare outcomes of the intervention and control groups and to assess how mothers with impaired cognitive ability have benefited from participation in the study.The Intervention consists of frequent phone calls and home visits to encourage mothers to have their babies immunized on schedule and to participate in needed developmental and educational services. At 33 months of age all children receive a developmental assessment.
