Effects of FACAM Intervention on Child Development and Parent-Child Interaction
Study Overview
Published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, this study evaluated the impact of the FACAM intervention on vulnerable pregnant women and their children up to two years old. The FACAM intervention provides the services of a health nurse or family therapist from pregnancy until the child starts school.
Findings
The primary outcome measured was maternal sensitivity, with secondary outcomes including the parent-child relationship, child social-emotional development, child developmental progress, parent-child interaction, and child development. The study found that while care-as-usual children showed greater involvement at 4-6 months old, this difference was likely due to biased dropout. No significant differences were found in other outcomes, suggesting that the FACAM intervention did not significantly impact child development and parent-child interaction compared to usual care.
Importance of Clinical Trials
Clinical trials play a critical role in developing safe and effective treatments and extending their benefits into everyday medical practice.
