What is being tested?
The trial tests an innovative program called Room to Grow (RtG), aimed at enhancing child development and parenting skills among families living in poverty. It involves one-on-one sessions with social workers every three months, continuous support via communication channels, provision of baby essentials, and access to community resources over a three-year period.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention focuses on social support rather than medical treatment, traditional side effects aren't applicable. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort or stress during counseling sessions as they work through personal challenges related to parenting and economic hardship.
