项目摘要

Project Summary / Abstract The birth of a child is a potentially powerful moment for programs to engage with caregivers to support and shape positive parenting practices. Like all parents, low-income parents may be willing and receptive to learning and doing what is best for their infant, but parenting during infancy is especially chaotic and stressful. This presents challenges to conventional forms of outreach and follow through even when parents have good intentions and when resources are publicly available at minimal cost. Using insights from behavioral economics (BE), we test the extent to which limited attention and positive affirmation of motherhood can be favorably directed to toward early language and literacy parenting resources among low income mothers of infants. We apply insights from the framework of behavioral economics—blending the scientific disciplines of conventional economics, cognitive decision making and social psychology—to design and experimentally test a bundle of nested interventions within New York City's Newborn Nurse Home Visiting Program (NVHP) existing delivery system to increase uptake and participation with early language resources and support positive parent-infant interactions. Half of mothers of newborns from the Harlem site receiving NHVP visits will (a) be automatically enrolled in the New York City Talk to Your Baby program and receive personalized reminders and child development tips via text message (to address limited attention); (b) view a video of mothers and infants with a reinforced positive message about motherhood at the second home visit (to inspire positive, empowering, and capable feelings of maternal identity); and, (c) at the infants 4-6 month birthday receive a gift packet with early reading books, prepopulated library card and a residentially tailored map of library locations, local book stores and story hours (making present future rewards, opening channel factors). The other half of mothers of newborns will receive NVHP services and a brochure of early language resources as usual. Our specific aims are to: Aim 1. Test the supplemental impact of behavioral economics (BE) informed interventions on parent uptake and use of New York City's Talk to Your Baby texting program. Aim 2. Assess whether such BE interventions subsequently increase the amount and complexity of parents' language interactions with their infant. Aim 3. Generate evidence of impact of on early language interactions in the homes of low income infants in New York City through new measurement methodologies (self-report measures of language interactions via responses to texts will be validated through naturalistic recordings of actual language that the infant is exposed to in the home environment). This project will garner evidence about whether a bundle of nested behaviorally informed low cost interventions can optimize use and impact of publicly available early language and learning resources—as launched in over 20 cities and localities—during a particularly receptive and malleable period of early childhood brain development.

项目摘要 /摘要儿童的诞生是计划与照顾者互动以支持和的潜在强大时刻塑造积极的育儿实践。像所有父母一样，低收入父母可能愿意并接受学习和做最适合婴儿的事情，但是在婴儿期间的育儿特别是混乱和压力。这给传统形式的外展带来了挑战，即使父母有良好意图和何时以最低成本公开提供资源。利用行为经济学的见解（BE），我们测试了有限的关注和积极的母性的影响程度致力于低收入婴儿母亲的早期语言和识字育儿资源。我们应用行为经济学框架的见解 - 融合常规的科学学科经济学，认知决策和社会心理学 - 设计和实验测试纽约市新生儿护士家庭访问计划（NVHP）现有交货的嵌套干预措施增加摄取和参与早期语言资源并支持积极父母的系统互动。来自哈林网站的新生儿母亲的一半接受NHVP访问将（a）自动参加了纽约市与您的婴儿计划的谈话，并获得个性化的提醒和孩子通过短信的开发提示（解决有限的注意力）；（b）观看一个母亲和婴儿的视频在第二次家庭访问中加强了关于母亲的积极信息（以激发积极，授权和有能力的母亲身份感）；（c）在婴儿4-6个月生日的婴儿中收到一个礼品包，阅读书籍，预先填充的图书馆卡和一张居住的图书馆地图，本地图书商店和故事时间（使未来的奖励，开放渠道因素）。另一半的母亲新生儿将像往常一样获得NVHP服务和早期语言资源的小册子。我们的具体目标为：目标1。测试行为经济学（BE）知情干预对父母的补充影响吸收和使用纽约市与您的婴儿发短信计划的谈话。目标2。评估是否是干预措施随后增加了父母与他们的语言互动的数量和复杂性婴儿。目标3。产生对低收入家庭早期语言互动影响的影响的证据纽约市的婴儿通过新的测量方法（语言的自我报告测量通过对文本响应的互动将通过实际语言的自然主义记录来验证婴儿暴露在家庭环境中）。该项目将获得有关是否一捆的证据嵌套行为知情的低成本干预措施可以优化早期公开可用的使用和影响语言和学习资源（在20多个城市和地区推出）都特别接受和幼儿脑发育的可延展时期。
