It also looks at health care use, maintenance of child routine care, parenting stress levels, and caregiver behaviors.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves educational and support sessions rather than medical treatments, there are no traditional side effects; however participants may experience changes in stress levels or behavior due to new information or group dynamics.
