Summary

This trial looks at how different approaches to care for families affected by IPV can affect caregivers, children, and outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for parents over 18 with a child under 3 who's been exposed to domestic violence and reported to Child Protective Services. Participants must speak English or Spanish, agree to a medical evaluation for the child, and not already be connected to an IPV advocate or be a ward of the state.
What is being tested?
The study compares Family-Centered Care (FCC) with Child-centered care (CCC) in terms of how they affect caregiver engagement in community services, feelings of empowerment, and clinical outcomes for children who have witnessed domestic violence.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves care models rather than medications, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort or stress due to discussions about intimate partner violence.
