An interventional study of Early Literacy Intervention in Literacy, sponsored by Duke University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-07-27.
Sponsored by Duke University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
The purpose of this research study is to learn new things about how parents and others who care for babies think about sharing books with their baby and how they might respond to guidance from their doctors. The study involves participants filling out a survey with questions about a newborn baby and thoughts about the baby's development. The study should not take more than an hour and fifteen minutes during the delivery hospital stay and another 20 minutes at the baby's one month well child visit by phone or emailed survey link. Participants may also be interviewed and asked some questions about these topics. The conversation will be audio recorded, and should last no more than 30 minutes. The survey should take no more than 15 minutes to complete. The participant and their child will be randomized, like flipping a coin, to either receive the study intervention book, Cluck and Moo, along with standard or care or solely standard of care at your time of hospital discharge. The greatest risks to this study would be feeling uncomfortable about answering some of the questions and potential risk of loss of confidentiality.

Exclusion Criteria:
Newborns randomized to the usual care group will receive standard education about safe sleep practices, measuring temperatures and newborn feeding needs. This information will be accompanied by printed instructions that will be added to the family's discharge instructions. This reflects current practice in the Duke Hospital Newborn Nursery.
In addition to usual care, families randomized to the intervention group will receive an early literacy intervention, delivered by a trained research assistant. To ensure intervention and delivery fidelity, the PI will meet with research assistants at bi-weekly intervals to review procedures and perform structured observations of intervention delivery.
Behavioral: Early Literacy Intervention
Similar to the standard Reach out and Read model, parents will be given a high-contrast board book, Cluck and Moo, and education about the importance of and how to engage with newborns in early shared reading behaviors. This will include instructive information for families about using books to stimulate newborns through pictures and spoken words.
Program acceptability as measured by survey data
Survey data will be analyzed using grounded theory.
Time frame: 1 month
Program acceptability as measured by structured interviews
The structured interviews will be evaluated and themes and subthemes will be identified using NVivo software.

Family's home literacy environment as measured by the READ subscale of the StimQ2-Infant.
Age appropriate items will be pulled from the StimQ2-Infant READ subscale. The StimQ2-Infant READ subscale measures a family's shared reading behaviors in the home.
