About the study

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness and implementation outcomes for the integration of two evidence-based practices and interventions (EBPIs) within pediatric primary care settings: HealthySteps (HS), which provides parenting support, and PlayReadVIP, which promotes relational health through video coaching. Families will be randomized to receive either the integrated HS + PlayReadVIP model or traditional HS, and investigators will examine impacts on parenting, parent-child relationships, and child development, as well as feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of the integrated intervention.
