Summary
This trial aims to study how different family-wide programs can promote healthy development in infants, mothers, fathers, and inter-parental relationships in cost-effective ways.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for cohabiting parents with healthy infants who have no known health problems. Both mothers and fathers must agree to participate. It's designed to help improve child and family health by enhancing early experiences and attachment.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of family programs, including a Couples' Intervention, Sensitivity Intervention, both combined, or no intervention (Control). It aims to find cost-effective ways to support infant development and parent relationships.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions focused on improving family dynamics and sensitivity towards the infant, there are not typical medical side effects; however, participants may experience emotional or psychological discomfort.
