About this study

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of a universal prevention program delivered by psychologists in conjunction with pediatric primary care well-child visits.

Read the detailed description

Integrated behavioral health has emerged as an effective approach to addressing emotional and behavioral health needs of children in the pediatric setting, yet there is little evidence for a standardized model of care for providing universal preventive services in pediatric primary care. Current models are typically loosely constructed, inconsistently applied, and unspecified. Our aim is to evaluate a model of care developed to address these gaps. Integrated Behavioral Health-Prevention (IBH-P) is a collection of clinical strategies and structured approaches designed to promote emotional and behavioral health. IBH-P is delivered by psychologists in the pediatric setting as part of scheduled well-child visits. The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention in promoting infant self-regulation. Maternal experience and satisfaction, adherence to well-child visits and immunizations will also be examined.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Integrated Behavioral Health - PreventionBehavioural

    IBH-P consists of 15-30 minute visits with mothers as part of the 1, 2, 4, and 6 month well-child visits. The intervention is delivered by doctoral level pediatric psychologists that are an integrated member of the primary care team.

  • Bright Futures: Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children, and Adolescents, 4th EditionBehavioural

    Bright Futures curriculum will be delivered by the pediatrician as part of the 1, 2, 4 and 6 month well-child visits.

Study groups in NCT04825210
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Integrated Behavioral Health - Prevention (IBH-P)ExperimentalThe IBH-P intervention addresses four areas: 1) assessment of emotional and behavioral adjustment, 2) parental education on important supports for emotional and behavioral health, 3) modeling and guidance on nurturing and responsive parenting, and 4) addressing parental concerns about and promoting child self-regulation. The primary focus of IBH-P is promoting infant self-regulation by teaching mothers how to soothe and calm their baby. Trauma-informed and relationship building methods are emphasized to acknowledge maternal experiences with violence and adversity and the desire to establish a strong working alliance. IBH-P is distinguished from Bright Futures through its emphasis on experiential learning, modeling of effective parenting skills, in-session practice and feedback, and proactive problem-solving. Families in IBH-P will receive all standard care elements of the well-child visit including pediatrician implementation of Bright Futures curriculum.
Receives: Behavioral: Integrated Behavioral Health - Prevention
Bright Futures: Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children, and Adolescents, 4th EditionActive comparatorThe Bright Futures control condition consists of standard of care in addressing emotional and behavioral health as provided by pediatricians. Pediatricians will follow the 4th edition of the Bright Futures: Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children, and Adolescents [pocket guide]. Guidelines are provided for topics to discuss and anticipatory guidance at each well-child visit. In contrast to IBH-P, there is an emphasis on didactic presentation, teaching mothers about developmental milestones, and responding to questions and concerns. These include discussions of crying, soothing, and feeding, although self-regulation is not a unifying theme.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Infant self-regulation

    The Infant Behavior Questionnaire-Revised Very Short Form is a 36-item measure of three factors, positive affect, negative emotionality, and orienting/regulatory capacity. Scores range from 0 to 7, with higher scores representing greater positive affect, negative emotionality and orienting and regulatory capacity.

    Measured: 7-month follow-up

  2. Parental knowledge of child development

    The Knowledge of Infant Development Inventory is 58-item measure of caregiver knowledge of infant development. The total score will be calculated as the percentage of correct answers out of 58 items.

    Measured: 7-month follow-up

  3. Maternal parenting behaviors

    The Keys to Interactive Parenting Scale (KIPS) will be used to assess maternal parenting behaviors. KIPS is a structured observational measure and assesses 12 domains of parenting. The domains are scored on a 1 to 5-point scale with higher scores indicating higher quality parenting behaviors.

    Measured: 7-month follow-up

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Parenting beliefs and practices

    The Baby Care Questionnaire is a 30-item measure of parenting belief and practices with 2 subscales, structure and attunement. Total scores range from 1 to 4 with higher scores indicating greater structure and attunement.

    Measured: 7-month follow-up

  2. Maternal feelings of efficacy in infant care

    The Maternal Self-Efficacy Scale is a 10-item self-report of feelings of efficacy in infant care. The total score will be used and ranges from 10 to 40 with higher scores representing greater maternal self-efficacy.

    Measured: 7-month follow-up

  3. Maternal appraisement of life stress

    The Perceived Stress Scale is a 14-item self-report of the degree to which situations in one's life within the past month are appraised as stressful. Scores range from 0 to 56 with higher scores indicating greater perceived stress.

    Measured: 7-month follow-up
