Ruby_Batz1. Researchers’ names: Doctoral Student Ruby Batz PI (srb@uoregon.edu); Dissertation ChairĀ  Jane Squires (jsquires@uoregon.edu)

2. Study Title: Effects of Infant-Net on Latino/Hispanic mother-child interactions and shared-book reading

3. Phase of study: Data collection is complete and analysis has begun as of Spring 2016.

4. Population or age group: 24 child-mother Latino/Hispanic dyads: 48 participants in total (24 mothers, 24 toddlers between 18-36 months).

5. Summary: Using a randomized controlled trial I will evaluate the impact of the interactive internet parent training intervention as compared to a comparison condition (control). After recruiting in Oregon, up to 24 child-mother Latino/Hispanic dyads will be randomized to either the intervention or computer-control condition. Parent-child interactions will serve as the primary outcome. Shared-reading interactions will serve as the secondary outcome. The proposed design will provide important practical information about the feasibility and effectiveness of an internet parenting intervention in effecting parenting behavior for Latino/Hispanic populations.

6. Opportunity for Participation: No current opportunities at this time .
