Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Spanish-speaking caregivers of children aged 15 months to 5 years who live in the Southwest Michigan (Kalamazoo) area and can attend local sessions are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Caregivers whose children have a pervasive developmental disorder or are blind or deaf, as well as non-Spanish-speaking families or those living outside the local area, are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit from this specific program.

What this trial studies
The study will adapt the Safe Home Supervision (SHS) program for Spanish-speaking Latinx families in Southwest Michigan using a five-step iterative process. Investigators will translate materials, conduct focus groups with caregivers and staff from three Latinx resource centers and a Head Start program, and revise videos and written content based on feedback. The revised materials will be pilot tested and then tested in a randomized controlled trial with caregivers of children aged 15 months to 5 years. Primary outcomes focus on changes in caregiver supervision practices and related child safety behaviors.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the adapted program could help Spanish-speaking Latinx caregivers better supervise young children at home and reduce unintentional injuries.
How similar studies have gone: The SHS program is based on an evidence-based intervention with prior success improving caregiver supervision, but tailoring it specifically for Latinx families in this region is a novel application.
