{ "Mothers' Action Project for Child Health (MAP-CH) for Dental Caries and Obesity Risk", "This study, called the Mothers' Action Project for Child Health (MAP-CH), is testing two approaches to improve child health. One group of mothers will receive health education and help building social networks with other mothers. The other group will receive referrals to dentists and educational materials. The study is looking for mothers aged 18 or older, born in a South Asian country, who speak Bengali or Hindi/Urdu, and are the primary caretaker of a child aged 12 to 48 months with Medicaid or CHIP. The main goal is to see if these interventions reduce dental caries (cavities) in children, measured after 18 months. The study is currently recruiting about 460 mothers and children.", "design": "This is a randomized controlled trial, meaning participants are assigned by chance to one of two groups. Approximately 460 mothers and children will participate.", "commitments": "Mothers in the intervention group will participate in a 12-month, multi-session, group-based intervention held in their homes. All participants will have a dental exam for their child at 18 months.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "The primary outcome, dental caries, will be measured at 18 months after the study begins.", }
