What this trial studies
This study aims to compare the effects of Family-Centered Care (FCC) versus Child-Centered Care (CCC) on caregiver engagement in community services for intimate partner violence (IPV). It focuses on caregivers of children under three years old who have been referred to Child Protective Services due to IPV exposure. The study will assess caregiver perceptions of empowerment, survivor-defined practices, and clinical outcomes for the affected children. Participants will include English or Spanish-speaking adults who are not currently connected to IPV advocacy services.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are parents over 18 years old with children under three who have been reported to Child Protective Services for IPV exposure.
Not a fit: Patients who are wards of the state or prefer a language other than English or Spanish may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance caregiver engagement and improve outcomes for children exposed to intimate partner violence.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using family-centered approaches for addressing IPV, indicating potential for success in this novel application.
