Description
Summary:To determine the impact of a video intervention administered at the time of the universal newborn hearing screen on caregiver knowledge of infant cognitive and language development in low socioeconomic status English-speaking parents. A parallel-group, single-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted from April to August 2016. Eligible participants were at least 18 years, delivered a singleton neonate, English speaking, and designated as low socioeconomic status based on household income and level of education. A total of 112 patients, 54 treatment and 58 control, completed the study and were included in the analysis. The Baby Survey of Parent/Provider Expectations and Knowledge, a validated 24-item questionnaire assessing child development knowledge, was the primary study outcome. The survey was conducted at baseline, 1 day after intervention, and 4–6 weeks later. A one-way, repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to evaluate for differences in the three time points. The average age of participants was 25.6 years and 85% identified as African-American. There was no significant difference in scores prior to and following the intervention for the control group (N = 58, F = 1.67, p = 0.19); however, a significant difference in scores was found in the treatment group (N = 54, F = 7.95, p
