Brief Summary:
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of the Promoting First Relationships PFR program versus an Early Education Support EES program in promoting infant well-being preventing emotional and behavioral problems countering developmental delay and reducing placement instability in young foster care children
Detailed Description:
Infants who enter foster care are at risk for developing multiple social and emotional problems later in life These behavioral issues often result in foster children being placed with multiple different families during their childhoods In turn an unstable family life can lead to serious conduct disorders and mental health problems The infants loss of their first attachment relationship heightens the risks for developing these problems even if the quality of care was poor prior to removal Infants reactions to this loss combined with other vulnerabilities complicate the development of new secure attachments to their foster care families Garnering a secure attachment relationship between foster parents and foster infants may reduce the infants risk for developing problematic mental health and conduct issues PFR is a family therapy intervention focused on aiding foster care parents to cultivate secure attachments with their foster infants This study will evaluate the effectiveness of the PFR program versus an EES program in promoting attachment security and infant well-being preventing emotional and behavioral problems countering developmental delay and reducing placement instability in young foster care children
Participants in this single-blind study will be randomly assigned to receive either PFR or EES Both interventions will be administered by a trained staff member of a community agency Participants assigned to PFR will receive ten weekly home visits that will focus on promoting the development of a secure attachment between foster parents and infants EES will consist of three monthly home visits during which infants will be assessed and referred for additional care if necessary EES participants will not receive any training Outcomes will be assessed at 1 6 and 12 months post-intervention for all participants
