What this Trial Is About

The aim of the proposed study is to create and test a modified version of the SHS intervention for Latinx families in Southwest Michigan. We will partner with three nearby Latinx resource centers in addition to a Head Start program that provides preschool to a large number of Latinx families. The project will use an iterative approach to modifying the intervention and will occur in five steps. In step 1, we will conduct focus groups with caregivers and staff from the 3 Latinx resource centers to identify changes to make to the intervention materials. In step 2, we will make modifications to the program materials. In step 3, we will conduct additional focus groups to seek feedback about the revised program materials. In step 4, we will pilot test the revised program materials, and in step 5 we will conduct the RCT of the modified program materials with caregivers of children ages 2-5. We will examine the effect of the modified intervention on caregivers' supervision of their children (using self-reports and observations) and on children's minor injury frequency.
