ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07132411
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Language-rich interactions with a parent or caregiver can serve as a protective factor for young children, by supporting their language development and other positive long-term outcomes, but existing interventions have not had the necessary reach to families who need this information the most. This study utilizes the primary care setting as a low cost, scalable way to deliver language promotion intervention.
