DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The broad objectives of this project are to identify and explore the changes in maternal-infant attachment and infant/toddler development as they occur during incarceration on a prison nursery and during the year following release of the infant with and without the mother. The overall goal is to enrich the knowledge base from which prison and community based parenting programs can be developed and tested and to improve the lives of incarcerated women and their children during co-detention and following release. The specific aims are: (1) to compare the impact of an intervention designed to enhance mother-infant synchrony versus a basic child care intervention on: parent-child interaction, parenting competency, and child development; (2) To measure type of attachment achieved by infants in the prison nursery and maintained during the transition to the community in relation to: the inmate mother's own attachment and to participation in either intervention; and (3) To identify the impact of raising an infant on the prison nursery on subsequent short-term criminal recidivism of the mother. Inmate participants and their infants are randomly assigned to one of the two interventions. Implementation of each consists of two concurrent strategies: videotaping of mother and baby followed by discussion with a nurse specialist every 3 months and weekly guided use of "Myself and My Baby", a workbook of mother and baby activities. The content of the post-videotape discussion and the workbook activities differ based on a priori protocols, with the synchrony intervention focused on maternal sensitive response and infant cues, and the child care intervention focused on health. Outcome variables measured include: bi-directional maternal and infant attachment, parent-child interaction, parenting competency, and child development.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的广泛目标是识别和探索孕产妇依恋和婴儿/蹒跚学步的发展的变化，因为它们在监狱托儿所的监禁期间以及在有和没有母亲的婴儿发行后的一年中发生了变化。 总体目标是丰富可以从中开发和测试监狱和基于社区的育儿计划的知识库，并在共同宣布和发布后改善被监禁的妇女及其子女的生活。 具体目的是：（1）比较旨在增强母子同步的干预措施与基本的儿童保育干预措施的影响：亲子互动，育儿能力和儿童发展； （2）衡量婴儿在监狱托儿所中实现的依恋类型，并在向社区过渡期间与以下方面保持：囚犯母亲自己的依恋和参与任何干预措施； （3）确定对母亲随后的短期刑事犯罪犯罪行为的养育对监狱托儿所的影响。囚犯及其婴儿被随机分配给两种干预措施之一。 每种的实施包括两种并发策略：母亲和婴儿的录像，然后每3个月与护士专家进行讨论，每周指导使用“我自己和我的婴儿”，这是一本关于母亲和婴儿活动的工作簿。 评论后的讨论和工作簿活动的内容根据先验协议而有所不同，同步干预的重点是孕产妇敏感的反应和婴儿提示，以及儿童保育干预措施的重点是健康。 测量的结果变量包括：双向母亲和婴儿的依恋，亲子互动，育儿能力和儿童发展。
