Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Parents or legal guardians aged 18 or older who speak English or Spanish and have an infant ≤6 months old identified as a Tier 3 HealthySteps participant and planning to continue care at NYU are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Families with non-singleton infants, parents who cannot consent, those with severe medical or psychiatric impairments that interfere with participation, non-English/Spanish speakers, or those planning to leave NYU care are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This randomized intervention enrolls families identified as higher-need (Tier 3) within pediatric primary care and assigns them to either the integrated HealthySteps + PlayReadVIP model or to usual HealthySteps. HealthySteps provides in-clinic parenting support while PlayReadVIP adds relational health video coaching delivered alongside routine care. Investigators will measure effects on parenting behaviors, parent-child relationship quality, and early child developmental outcomes, and will collect implementation outcomes such as feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness. The study is conducted in English and Spanish at NYU Langone Health clinics.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the integrated model could strengthen parenting support and parent-child relationships and improve early developmental outcomes while being workable within pediatric primary care.
How similar studies have gone: Components like HealthySteps and relational video coaching have prior evidence supporting benefits for parenting and early development, but combining them into an integrated primary care model is a newer approach with limited direct trial evidence.
