Intervention: Assessment of existing caregiver practices using the Care Practices Scale within a nurturing care framework, examining associations with children's socio-cognitive development
Who it was tested with: 26 children aged 9-36 months (M=19.27, SD=7.63) and their caregivers in San Basilio de Palenque, an Afro-Colombian rural community.
The same group is measured before the intervention and again afterwards, with a baseline and an endline and sometimes a midline. Change is visible, but other causes cannot be ruled out.
"This exploratory cross-sectional descriptive-correlational study examined associations between caregiver-reported caregiving practices and early socio-cognitive indicators... Associations were examined using age- and sex-adjusted partial Pearson correlations, with Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate control." The study measures associations between existing caregiving practices and developmental outcomes in a single time point without intervention implementation or a comparison group.
Small sample size (n=26), cross-sectional design with no comparison or control group, reliance on caregiver self-report, and lack of statistical significance after multiple comparison correction limit the ability to draw definitive conclusions about caregiver practice-development associations.
