About

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.

Full 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.
