Study Summary

This trial tests the effectiveness of a child sexual abuse prevention program delivered to parents and examines if benefits are sustained over time.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for new parents enrolled in the Parents as Teachers (PAT) program who speak English or Spanish and have at least one child over 12 months old at home. It's not open to those previously involved with PAT foundational sessions, not enrolled in PAT, or without a child over 12 months.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if adding Smart Parents—a program focused on preventing child sexual abuse—to the regular PAT curriculum improves parental awareness and protective actions against CSA. The trial also looks at how well these improvements hold up after one and two years.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, traditional physical side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience increased stress or anxiety when discussing sensitive topics like CSA.
