Overview
Brief Summary
Early exposure to poverty is associated with adverse impacts on long-term educational achievement. Support of positive parenting is a key strategy to prevent emergence of socioeconomic disparities in child development. This study will assess the feasibility of the pilot implementation of an evidence-based parenting program designed to prevent disparities in child development, the Video Interaction Project (VIP), in Brazil, as an exemplar low- and middle-income country (LMIC), and explore changes in parenting and child outcomes after participation in the program.
Detailed Description
This international study will be conducted in Southern Brazil. After translation and cultural adaptation of VIP materials (Aim 1), a qualitative investigation of VIP implementation feasibility (Aim 2) will be conducted using semi-structured interviews and observation of engagement for approximately 50 caregiver-child dyads with children 0-5 years who will participate in 3 VIP sessions. To explore changes in parenting and child outcomes (Aim 3), dyads enrolled in the study (for Aim 2) will complete assessments pre- and post-participation in 3 VIP sessions.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in Parenting practices in Cognitive stimulation
Time Frame: Baseline Visit, Visit 4 (7 months)
StimQ - Infant survey will be used to evaluates reading, teaching, responsivity with the caregivers through a video call. The survey consist of 4 subscales, which are summed together for a total score (StimQ2-I range 0-42)
Changes in Parent-child interactions during reading
Time Frame: Baseline Visit, Visit 4 (7 months)
Adult-Child Interactive Reading Inventory (ACIRI) assesses both adult and child behaviors in three categories that research has identified as critical: Enhancing Attention to Text, Promoting Interactive Reading and Supporting Comprehension, and Using Literacy Strategies. An observational measure where caregivers and children are observed and given an score (3 = most of the time, 2 =some of the time , 1 = infrequently, 0= not at all)
Change in Parent Reading Belief of their children
Time Frame: Baseline Visit, Visit 4 (7 months)
The Parent Reading Belief Inventory (PRBI) is a self-reporting instrument that assess parents' beliefs about the frequency, quality, and importance of their child's literacy activities. The 42-item instrument provides seven subscales: positive affect, verbal participation, resources, teaching efficacy, knowledge base, environmental input, and reading instruction.
Change in the Percentage of Acceptance of the Video Interaction Project
Time Frame: Baseline Visit, Visit 4 (7 months)
Semi-structured interviews (approximately 40-60 min) conducted. Caregivers will share their opinions about activities, provided materials, barriers/facilitators to participation and use of intervention strategies in the home. Interviews will be audio recorded, transcribed, and translated from Brazilian Portuguese to English. Guides for the semi structured interviews have been developed based on previous studies and theoretical frameworks.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in Depression in Caregivers(Baseline Visit, Visit 4 (7 months))
- Child Development (CS)(Baseline Visit, Visit 4 (7 months))
- Change in Stress in Caregivers(Baseline Visit, Visit 4 (7 months))
