Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Caregiver social isolation adversely impacts child health and developmental outcomes; it also contributes to suboptimal engagement in health care services and enrichment resources, which also elevate risk for poor outcomes in childhood. The proposed pilot intervention aims to reduce social isolation and promote engagement in health promoting enrichment and activities, by embedding a community health worker assisted forum in a community-driven mobile communications (using a platform supported by the company txtwire). The investigators propose a two-arm, pilot study enrolling 100 parents of children age 0-5 years old who reside in the Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan neighborhoods of Boston. Participants will be recruited from Boston Medical Center and community sites in Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan. The investigators will use quality improvement methods to improve the utilization of the mobile communications shared through txtwire to build collective efficacy for children and social support and engagement that will optimize family resiliency and thereby promote child well-being, as well as, assess the acceptability of the intervention, and logistics of the field implementation to ultimately inform an appropriately powered RCT. Participants will receive compensation for participation at baseline and follow-up interviews. The intent of this study is to support developement of mobile social communications to reduce social isolation.
