c.f. intervention
Families in the control group condition did not receive the home visiting program PAT, but were informed about support services in their community. The use of these services was permitted for ethical reasons; however, parents were regularly asked about the nature and intensity of the retrieved services. Additionally, all parents received incentives, such as greeting cards, small birthday presents, and monetary reimbursements.
A trained PAT parent educator (pediatric nurses in this study) visits families at their homes, approximately two times a month (individual frequencies may vary depending on specific risk factors) until the children are three years old. PAT is an educational home visitation program that aims to a) help parents to understand child developmental aspects and improve their parenting skills, b) detect developmental shortcomings, c) prevent child abuse and neglect, and d) enhance school preparedness. Additionally, the project offers monthly group meetings.
