Summary:
|
This project is assessing the impact of a social skills training in a school-like setting as an environment for specific interventions on spatial and motor abilities in children with FASD. Helping parents learn to work with their children at home in social skills training is a significant component of the project.

Summary:
|
The goal of this project is to develop an indirect screener for drug use in the perinatal period. A number of theoretically-derived items tapping content known to be associated with drug use were administered to 400 post-partum women, who subsequently provided hair and urine samples. A smaller set of empirically-keyed items will be derived based primarily on prediction of drug use during the last trimester of pregnancy. A non-offensive brief, indirect intervention was also developed and is being pilot tested under this project.

Summary:
|
This translational research project has three key goals: (1) To provide training/technical assistance for dissemination of the Miami ‘baby court’ model in two new community settings: Detroit, Michigan, and Tallahassee, Florida; (2) To conduct research on the processes and outcomes associated with implementation of the model; and (3) To support the development of a “best practices tool-kit” to guide future dissemination of the model. The Miami ‘baby court’ (referred to as the Infant Mental Health-Court Team Program) centers on the juvenile court system as the platform for assuring timely referrals to child-parent psychotherapy, monitoring treatment, and ensuring that the child’s emotional well-being is at the center of judicial decision-making and permanency planning. Child-parent psychotherapy is an evidence-based intervention found to improve the mental health and the implementation arm of the study will collect: (a) interview data on adoption and implementation processes from the local court team members and other community stakeholders at the dissemination sites, (b) interview data on maintenance and sustainability of the model at the originating Miami site, (c) development of court and clinical observational fidelity tools, (d) documentation of implementation activities, and (e) in-depth interviews with a subset of mothers who complete child-parent psychotherapy on satisfaction with treatment and the facilitators/barriers to engagement in treatment. The outcome arm of the study will examine the relationship between implementation and the effectiveness of the model. Data to be collected includes mother/child assessment of child development and behavioral health, maternal depression and stress, mother-child interaction, and archival court and child record review of maltreatment recurrence, injuries, and permanency behavioral outcomes of infants and toddlers exposed to maltreatment. The Miamimodel grew out of a pioneering multidisciplinary partnership between the judiciary and clinical experts in infant mental health: Judge Cindy Lederman; Dr. Joy Osofsky, an expert on trauma in early childhood and infant mental health intervention with very young children; and Dr. Lynne Katz, Director of the Linda Ray Intervention Center at the University of Miami.
