Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a standardized home-visitation program is more effective than usual care for new parents in the Navy and Marine Corps. The outcomes researchers are interested in are child development, parenting behaviors, and child maltreatment risk and protective factors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for families with children aged 0-3, or expecting parents, who are active duty, retired, National Guard or Reserves service members (or their partners) stationed at certain military installations. They must speak English well and be eligible for the New Parent Support Program home visits.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study evaluates a new program called Take Root Home Visitation (TRHV), which aims to improve child development and parenting behaviors while reducing child abuse risk. It will be compared to the usual support services provided by the military.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a social support program evaluation rather than a medical intervention, there aren't typical side effects like you'd see with medication. However, participants may experience varying levels of satisfaction or emotional impact.

Other Research
Common treatments for child abuse, such as the Take Root Home Visitation (TRHV) program, work by providing education and support to parents, teaching effective parenting strategies, and addressing stressors that may lead to abusive behaviors. These interventions aim to improve parenting behaviors, enhance child development, and reduce the risk of child maltreatment. This approach is crucial for child abuse patients as it targets the root causes of maltreatment, promotes a safer and more nurturing home environment, and supports the overall well-being and development of the child.
