An interventional study of Responsive parenting and Child Development in Child Development, sponsored by McGill University. Completed at 1 site in Bangladesh. Open to participants aged 6 Months to 14 Months, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2013-07-18.
Sponsored by McGill University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
Children of mothers in the intervention parenting program are expected to show benefits over the standard care control group in terms of better cognitive/language development, less recent illness, and better height for age. The mothers assigned to the intervention parenting program are expected to evidence higher levels of home stimulation, better health prevention, and better dietary diversity, along with more accurate knowledge of child development.
There are actually two intervention groups: in one the program is delivered by trained peer educators from the village, and in the other the program is delivered by trained government personnel.
McGill University is the lead sponsor of 244 studies on the registry; 49 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
