Tailoring a Home Supervision Intervention for Latinx Caregivers
This study is developing and testing a modified version of the SHS (Safe Home Supervision) intervention for Latinx families in Southwest Michigan. The SHS intervention uses group and video-based sessions to teach caregivers how to supervise young children more closely to prevent injuries. Another intervention, a Parenting group, teaches caregivers how to manage common child behavior problems. The study aims to make these interventions culturally relevant for families of Mexican and Central American heritage. Success will be measured by changes in supervision behavior and parent supervision attributes. You may be able to join if you are a Spanish-speaking caregiver of a child aged 15 months to 5 years old. The current recruitment status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Supervision Behaviorbaseline, immediate post-intervention, 1 month post-intervention
Caregivers will complete the Computerized Supervision Observation Measure (CSOM), which is a 20-minute observational measure of supervision that was created by Dr. Morrongiello (Morrongiello et al., 2010). The measure assesses the frequency with which caregivers verbally intervene to address risky child behavior (e.g., climbing on a dresser) as well as the type of verbal comment that they make (e.g., prohibitions, directives, or teaching comments). Each parent will view a videotape of a young child (same sex as their own) in a naturalistic home setting. The video will show a child moving throughout the home playing in different areas (living room, kitchen). Parent responses will be coded to rate the degree to which they respond effectively to children' engagement in risky behavior. Coding categories include: prohibitions or threats (e.g., don't do that"), directions or control statements (e.g., "you can put that over there") and teaching/explanations (e.g., "that's hot).
- Parent Supervision Attributes Profile Questionnaire (PSAPQ)baseline, immediately post-intervention, 1 month post intervention
The PSAPQ will be administered at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 1 month post-intervention. The PSAPQ is a measure of parents' supervision practices and beliefs (Morrongiello \& Corbett, 2006; Morrongiello \& House, 2004). It is comprised of 29 items organized into 4 subscales (protectiveness, supervision, tolerance for risk taking, and belief that fate determines a child's injury risk). Caregivers use a 5-point Likert scale (1= strongly disagree, 5 = strongly agree) to rate the extent to which they agree with items assessing their supervision attitudes and behaviors (e.g., I let my child take some chances in what he/she does; I have my child within reach at all times). The minimum score on the scale is 29, and the maximum score is 145. Higher scores indicate engagement in higher levels of supervision and greater beliefs about the importance of protecting children from injuries.
