Talk With Me Baby in Rural and Underserved Communities: Pilot
Project Description:
This pilot study will attempt to demonstrate the preliminary efficacy of embedding universal language promotion (Talk With Me Baby, TWMB) in well-child care (WCC) visit for enhancing the home language environment (HLE). It is a multicenter trial that will take place in two primary care clinics in two ISPCTN states that serve rural and underserved children and families. It is designed to provide the foundation for a full-scale trial, which will evaluate the efficacy of TWMB for enhancing both the HLE and key early childhood outcomes (language and school readiness).
