ATTACH™ Trial Summary
This trial sought to test the efficacy of the ATTACH parenting intervention in reducing stress-related health problems in children. The study found that ATTACH was successful in reducing stress and improving health outcomes for children. However, the study was limited by its small sample size and lack of long-term data.
Who is the study for?
The ATTACH™ Program is for parents with children from birth to 32 months who are dealing with toxic stress factors like depression, addictions, or poverty. Parents must commit to weekly training sessions for 10-12 weeks and agree to bring a co-parent when possible. They also need to consent to blood sample collection in certain locations.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This trial tests the ATTACH™ Parenting Program's effectiveness when delivered by healthcare professionals in community settings. It aims at improving parent-child relationships and child development outcomes by enhancing parents' understanding of thoughts and feelings (reflective function).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since ATTACH™ is an educational program rather than a medical treatment, it doesn't have side effects like drugs do. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort or distress while reflecting on personal experiences during the program.

ATTACH™ Trial Design
1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Intervention groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
A quasi-experimental design was selected to more closely approximate service delivery models in agencies that do not typically employ control groups.
Given promising findings (from seven ATTACH™ pilot studies), a randomized controlled trial design, even employing wait-list controls was deemed unacceptable and even unethical by patients, health care professionals and health system administrators in engagement activities surrounding the preparation of this proposal.
