Official title: Maximizing the Impact of Preventive Interventions: Identifying Responders and Non-Responders of an Evidence-Based Intervention for Low-Income Families Using a Person-Centered Approach
Funded at University of South Carolina at Columbia · NIH-10841009 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at how different challenges impact the success of a program called FRAME, which helps low-income families facing money troubles and parental depression, so we can better understand who benefits most from the support and make it even more helpful for those in need.

What this research studies
This research investigates how different risk factors affect the success of a preventive intervention designed for low-income families. It focuses on a program called FRAME, which aims to support families dealing with economic strain and parental depression. By analyzing data from families who participated in FRAME, the research seeks to identify which families benefit from the program and which do not, allowing for more tailored and effective interventions in the future. The goal is to enhance the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of mental health support for underserved families.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more effective mental health interventions tailored to the specific needs of low-income families.
