About this study
Family dynamics and caregiver responses to a child with traumatic brain injury are implicated both as precipitating events as well as factors influencing outcomes of abusive head trauma (AHT). However, no family behavioral health intervention exists to meet the unique needs of families with infants and very young children with AHT. The study was initially designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess the efficacy of an evidence-based behavioral intervention to improve outcomes for families and children with AHT. However, rates of recruitment were so low that the investigators and funder amended the study to be intervention only (with IRB approval). At that time, there were five participants and only one had been assigned to the intervention arm. Only one additional family was recruited, and that family did not complete study measures prior to the time at which the intervention would start and did not receive the intervention. The investigators did examine outcomes in multiple dimensions, including clinical, cognitive, family, caregiver, child behavior, and service usage over time but connot compare to patients not receiving the intervention. The investigators were not able to examine characteristics of patients and families best suited for this behavioral health intervention.
Read the detailed description
27 children (ages 3 months to 2 years) and their caregiver referred to the Non-Accidental Brain Injury Care Clinic at the Children's Hospital Colorado (CHCO) were recruited for participation in the study, 7 families consented. One family received the Attachment and Biobehavioral (ABC) intervention. One family discontinued participation. The data collection schedule was 1 month post-injury, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months. Outcomes in multiple dimensions, were assessed including clinical recovery, cognitive, language, and motor functioning, family functioning, caregiver mental health including anxiety, depression, competency, and stress. The investigators also examined service use over time. Analyses will assess trajectories of recovery for both groups using data for all time points.

Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC)Behavioural
Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC) is an in-home, 10-session, manualized parent-training program for children ages 6 months through 2 years who have experienced early adversity. ABC utilizes parent-child interactions to enhance positive interactions with the child through live coaching with particular focus on nurturing behaviors, following the child's lead, non-frightening behaviors. These behaviors include appropriate soothing and comforting when a child is distressed, responding to or imitating a child in a contingent way, and displaying warmth.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| ABC Intervention | Experimental | The investigators will deliver the "Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC)" in the home weekly using live, in-room coaching, to give caregivers feedback as they use targeted skills during interactions with the child. The intervention will last 10 sessions. Study participants in both groups will complete study measures at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, post-intervention, 6 months, and 12 months. Receives: Behavioral: Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC) |
| Standard of Care | No intervention | Subjects will receive normal standard of care without the "Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC)". |

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Family dynamics and caregiver responses to a child with traumatic brain injury are implicated both as precipitating events as well as factors influencing outcomes of abusive head trauma (AHT). However, no family behavioral health intervention exists to meet the unique needs of families with infants and very young children with AHT. The study was initially designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess the efficacy of an evidence-based behavioral intervention to improve outcomes for families and children with AHT. However, rates of recruitment were so low that the investigators and funder amended the study to be intervention only (with IRB approval). At that time, there were five participants and only one had been assigned to the intervention arm. Only one additional family was recruited, and that family did not complete study measures prior to the time at which the intervention would start and did not receive the intervention.
