Official title Parent-Child Memory Study: Improving Future Thinking Among Mothers
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06145919
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Parents of children from impoverished communities are disproportionately more likely to engage in harsh physical discipline, which can lead to serious clinical outcomes, including suicidal ideation and attempts. One mechanism linking low resource environments and maladaptive parenting strategies is maternal delay discounting, or the tendency to value smaller, immediate rewards (such as stopping children's misbehavior via physical means) relative to larger, but delayed rewards (like improving the parent-child relationship).
