Summary

The Duke research team will work with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and lead the design and implementation of a cluster-randomized trial in Northern Ghana to assess the impact of the Integrated Mothers and Babies Course \& Early Childhood Development (iMBC/ECD) intervention on the mental wellbeing of mothers of children under 2 and their children's attainment of age-appropriate developmental milestones.

Conditions

  • Early Childhood Development

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Integrated Mothers and Babies Course

The Integrated Mothers and Babies Course/Early Childhood Development (iMBC/ECD) will be implemented along side normal C-PrES programming (key MNCHN behaviors). The iMBC curriculum is a prevention model based on cognitive behavioral therapy with the aim of supporting pregnant women and mothers with children under two years of age to become more resilient, decrease risk for future depression, and manage daily stressors effectively. In addition, the updated version of the iMBC is integrated with selected early childhood development (ECD) messages. The integration of these messages is intended to increase mothers' knowledge of the stressors associated with pregnancy and parenting young children and promote early stimulation behaviors and bonding to support child development.
