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.

项目概要/摘要孩子的出生对于与护理人员合作以支持和支持的计划来说是一个潜在的强大时刻。像所有父母一样，低收入父母可能愿意并接受学习和做对婴儿最有利的事情，但婴儿期的养育尤其混乱且压力很大。这对传统的外展形式和后续行动提出了挑战，即使父母有良好的条件意图以及何时以最低成本公开可用的资源。（BE），我们测试了有限的关注和对母性的积极肯定可以在多大程度上有利针对低收入婴儿母亲的早期语言和识字育儿资源。应用行为经济学框架的见解——融合传统的科学学科经济学、认知决策和社会心理学——设计和实验测试一系列纽约市新生儿护士家访计划 (NVHP) 现有分娩中的嵌套干预措施提高早期语言资源的吸收和参与并支持积极的亲子关系的系统接受 NHVP 访问的哈林区新生儿母亲中有一半将 (a) 自动进行互动。参加纽约市与您的宝宝交谈计划并接收个性化提醒和孩子通过短信提供发育提示（以解决注意力有限的问题）；(b) 观看母亲和婴儿的视频在第二次家访时强化关于母性的积极信息（激发积极的、赋权的和 (c) 在婴儿 4-6 个月生日时收到早期的礼包阅读书籍、预先填写的借书卡以及针对住宅定制的图书馆位置地图、当地书店和故事时间（制作现在未来的奖励，打开渠道因素）。新生儿将像往常一样接受 NVHP 服务和早期语言资源手册。目的是：目标 1. 测试行为经济学 (BE) 知情干预措施对家长的补充影响接受和使用纽约市的“与您的宝宝交谈”短信计划目标 2. 评估是否有这样的效果。干预随后增加了父母与孩子语言互动的数量和复杂性目标 3. 提供对低收入家庭早期语言互动影响的证据。通过新的测量方法（自我报告语言测量）在纽约市的婴儿通过对文本的响应进行的交互将通过实际语言的自然记录来验证该项目将收集有关婴儿是否在家庭环境中接触的证据。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资源的使用和影响在特别受欢迎的活动期间，在 20 多个城市和地区推出了语言和学习资源以及儿童早期大脑发育的可塑期。
