Overview
Brief Summary
To examine the behavioral, psychosocial, and biologic impact of resilience-promoting interventions associated with primary care.
Detailed Description
Early-life trauma and related adversities are prevalent and associated with negative health and achievement outcomes. These adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are especially common in economically disadvantaged and communities of color. While there has been tremendous growth in knowledge about ACEs and their impact on health across the life course, critical gaps persist: 1) Which biologic pathways are most affected by ACEs during early childhood and may help identify those children at greatest risk for future poor health? And, 2) How may child and family resilience be bolstered across the care continuum to mitigate the negative health effects of ACEs? These critical gaps severely limit our ability to effectively identify children at high-risk and to intervene to promote resilience before poor health occurs. Three previously piloted resilience-promoting, caregiver-child interventions will be examined: primary care-based, group-delivered Resilience Clinic (RC); home-based, dyadic Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC); and primary care-based, dyadic Resiliency Family Program (RFP). Using a randomized wait- list controlled trial design,12 families will be assigned to intervention or enhanced primary care (n=50/arm in each intervention, total n=300). Pre-post intervention health (behavioral, caregiver stress) and biology will be compared between intervention and controls, as well as modifying factors such as setting and delivery method.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in Parenting Stress Index (PSI) score
Time Frame: baseline/enrollment and 2 week and 3-month follow-up after intervention ends
Caregiver reported survey validated measure of parenting stress. The Parenting Stress Index - Short Form (PSI) is a 36-item self-report measure completed by parents to measure stress level within the context of parenting. Participants respond to items on a 5-point Likert scale. Responses to each item in a sub-category are totaled to calculate three subcategory scores, which are summed to represent a total parenting stress score. Higher scores indicate higher levels of parenting stress.
Change in Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) total problems scale score
Time Frame: baseline/enrollment and 2 week and 3-month follow-up after intervention ends
Caregiver reported survey validated measure of child behavioral and emotional challenges on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) Preschool form from The Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA). The CBCL is standardized for children ages 1.5 to 5 years. Respondents are asked to rate 99 problem items as 0 for "not true of the child," 1 for "somewhat or sometimes true of the child," and 2 for "very true or often true of the child" based on the past two months. The range of possible values is 0-100.
