Study Summary

This trial will study whether giving cash to birthing parents of preterm babies in a NICU in PA can help reduce stress and help parents invest in their baby's care.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for Medicaid-insured or uninsured parents who meet income requirements, are over 18, speak English or Spanish fluently, live in Philadelphia county, and have a preterm infant born between 22 and less than 36 weeks gestational age. It's not for those likely to move out of state within a year or planning to put their infant up for adoption.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests whether giving cash with no strings attached (either a high-value or low-value amount) can help parents of preterm babies by reducing stress and improving the ability to care for their infants. This pilot study will take place in one NICU in Pennsylvania.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves financial support rather than medical treatment, there aren't traditional side effects. However, the impact on parental stress levels and investment in infant care will be closely monitored.
