Talk With Me Baby to Enhance the Early Home Language Environment

This study is looking at whether the "Talk With Me Baby" (TWMB) program can help improve how much caregivers talk with their babies at home. The program is delivered by primary care providers during regular well-child checkups for children aged 0 to 9 months. Researchers want to see if TWMB increases the number of words caregivers say to their infants and how often they have back-and-forth conversations. Success would mean an improvement in these language behaviors after 12 months. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 66 child-caregiver pairs.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 66 participants to see if the Talk With Me Baby program improves language environments. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
What's involved
You would attend at least four well-child checkups where you receive the TWMB program. You would also record conversations with your infant before and after receiving the program.
Compensation

Follow-up
The primary outcomes are measured at 12 months after the intervention begins.
