Summary

In so-called at risk families, the child-parent attachment relationship is more difficult to set up and this can be a barrier to social and emotional development of young children. To help parents build and sustain this relationship, and to prevent child development disorders, many parenting programs have been created, usually with frequent home visits by early childhood professionals. In France, therapeutic interventions at home are little used and they are not evaluated.

In Montpellier, an action of this type has been conducted since 2001 by the "Conseil Départemental de l'Hérault" in collaboration with the University Hospital of Montpellier including, in addition to home visits, supervision of professionals: the Appui Parental Program.

Before extending this action to other areas of Herault, the "Conseil Départemental de l'Hérault", the "Abri Languedocien" and the University Hospital of Montpellier are conducting an assessment to know the effectiveness of the program for families under care.

This 3-year multicenter prospective study includes 88 children aged 1 to 20 months from families meeting vulnerability criteria previously defined, 44 benefiting Appui Parental program (experimental group) and 44 benefiting a regular support (control group).

A paediatric examination on the basis of the Denver scale, parental questionnaires, questionnaires to professionals and an a video of infant-parent interactions are used. The data, collected at baseline and 18 months later, will be compared.
