CANDO Trial Summary

This trial will provide parents with education and resources on aspects of infant care including sleep, nutrition, building a healthy relationship with their baby, and healthy screen time use in order to promote healthy development.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for parents/guardians of infants under 26 weeks old who are in good health and can give informed consent in English or Spanish. The family should be willing to follow the study's procedures, not planning to move away before the child turns one year old, and open to being randomly assigned to a group.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to see if providing health education on infant care (like sleep habits, nutrition, bonding with your baby, and screen time) can influence childhood development positively. Parents will be split into two groups: one receiving this intervention and another serving as a control.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments or drugs, there are no direct side effects associated with it. However, changes in routine based on the guidance provided could indirectly affect both the infant's and parent's daily routines.
