Talk With Me Baby: Leveraging Well-Child Care to Enhance the Early Home Language Environment for Rural and Underserved Children
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Talk With Me Baby (TWMB) program improves the home-language environment for at-risk families with children ages two to six months when primary care providers deliver the program during well-child checkups.

Receive the TWMB program from the provider during the checkups 3. Record their conversations with their infant before they receive the program and after they receive the program four times.
