Brief Summary:
To improve neurocognitive outcomes in 2-year-old children by implementing a community-based intervention program that follows the principles of Conscious Discipline.
Detailed Description:
We aimed to introduce Conscious Discipline (CD) in Grenada as a means of improving neurodevelopment in 2-year-old children. The CD intervention promotes improved social-emotional connections between parents/guardians and children that reduces harsh discipline and corporal punishment and provides an ideal environment for the development of higher cognitive functioning (e.g. working memory, inhibition, emotional regulation).
The intervention is implemented by using a distributed local, train-the-trainer model in partnership with the Grenada Roving Caregiver Program, managed by GRENCASE. CD training was provided to 85 existing Roving Caregivers, 70 of whom were certified as Conscious Discipline Paraprofessionals (CDPPs). Certified CDPPs traveled out to communities and villages throughout Grenada, to impart knowledge and skills to new and expecting parents.
Following the intervention, parents who received CD training were assessed in their ability to implement CD skills with their child(ren). Neurocognition was assessed in children post-intervention using the INTERGROWTH 21st Neurodevelopmental Assessment (INTERNDA). Neurocognitive outcomes were compared between the intervention arm and the waitlist control arm of the study.
