Experimental: Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC) program
The ABC program consists of 10 1 -hour home-based sessions delivered by a trained parent coach.
Each session includes the mother and her child together and addresses a specific topic.
|
The ABC program consists of 10 one-hour home-based sessions delivered by a trained parent coach.
Each session includes the mother and her child together and addresses a specific topic.
Principal intervention activities include a discussion of basic attachment principles, guided practice of new parenting behaviors, and a review of video clips from previous sessions to help reinforce parenting targets.
The parent coach promotes (a) nurturance, especially in response to distress; (b) following the child's lead with delight; and (c) avoiding frightening caregiving behavior.
As specified by the ABC protocol, any/all other family members will be invited to observe or participate in each ABC session Each full-time ABC parent coach will serve 8 to 10 families at a time (i.e., complete 8-10 hourly ABC visits per week).

Active Comparator: Home-Based Book-of-the-Week (HBOW) program
The HBOW program consists of 10 English/Spanish developmentally appropriate books hand-delivered weekly to the mothers.
A trained RA will utilize a standard set of questions to ask about the mother's and child's well-being.
|
The HBOW program is an active control condition developed by PI Berlin.
It consists of 10 English/Spanish developmentally appropriate books hand-delivered weekly to the mothers.
During each of the 10 weeks, a trained RA will visit each HBOW mother to drop off the book and to ask briefly about the mother's and child's well-being (using a standard set of questions).
Thus, this condition will parallel the intervention condition in duration (number of weeks) and structure, although it will be less intensive in terms of participant contact time per visit.

Maternal Sensitivity during Semi-Structured Play
Time Frame: This data will be collected at Time 1 (9 months).
|
This outcome will be assessed with a 15-minute "Three Bag" interaction.
The mother will be given vague instructions involving 3 numbered cloth bags, each containing one or more standard, age-graded toys or books, asking that the child spend some time with each.
The mother will be informed that she can play or help however she wants.
Coders will use the well-established Parent-Child Interaction Rating Scales to assign a global 5-point score for the mother's sensitivity/responsiveness, intrusiveness, and positive regard.
This will be video-recorded for subsequent coding by trained, reliable, and blinded coders.

Maternal Sensitivity to Child Distress
Time Frame: This data will be collected at Time 1 (9 months).
|
This will be assessed in the context of age-graded mild stressors designed to elicit child fear or frustration, all of which have been well-validated.
Before each stressor, there will be a 3-minute "baseline" period during which the child will view a neutral video.
At Time 1, the stressors will consist of a 4-minute novel toy approach and 3-minute barrier task.
At Time 2, the stressors will consist of a 2-minute mask task and a 3-minute barrier task.
Following each stressor, there will be a 2-minute child-mother "reunion" when the mother is free to interact with her child however she wants.
Mothers will be asked ahead of time not to provide a pacifier or breastfeed during these 2 minutes; after two minutes mothers can interact freely, which will allow researchers to capture mothers' "food to soothe" behaviors.
Coders will rate sensitivity to child distress using a 5-point scale.
If the child does not display distress, coders will rate the mother's responses to her child's other cues.

Maternal Sensitivity during Feeding
Time Frame: This data will be collected at Time 1 (9 months).
|
This outcome will be assessed in terms of maternal responsiveness to child feeding cues and the use of food to soothe child distress, both of which will be observed throughout the home-based assessments.
Each home-based assessment will be schedule to include at least one opportunity to observe child feeding./
A set of developmentally and culturally appropriate snack foods will be provided to facilitated standardized observations of mothers' use of food to soothe child distress.
Two validated and complementary behavioral coding schemes, the Responsiveness to Child Feeding Cues Scale and the Food to Soothe scheme will be used.
This will be video-recorded for subsequent coding by trained, reliable, and blinded coders.

Child Stress Regulation: Age 9 months
Time Frame: This data will be collected at Time 1 (9 months).

Video recorded data collected will rate infants' emotion regulation strategies in the context of mild stressors during the above-mentioned three contexts of parenting behaviors.
The Laboratory Temperament Assessment Battery will be used to rate the presence/absence of the following 5 behaviors: looks to mother, communicative gestures, looks to the environment, and self-stimulation.
A two-proportion score composite will be computed for mother-oriented regulation and self-soothing regulation.
Coders will also rate children's emotional reactivity every 5 seconds to analyze emotional reactivity as a covariate.
This outcome will be video-recorded for subsequent coding by trained, reliable, and blinded coders.
