Summary
The purpose of this study is to incorporate behavioral economics (BE) approaches to determine whether 3 novel interventions of varying intensity improve the frequency of parent-child reading behaviors among low-income families. In the first phase, 10 parents will be recruited to participate in rapid cycle interviews to determine the appropriateness of text messages. In the second phase, 45 participants will be randomized to comparative groups to test the effects of automated hovering and other BE approaches on frequency of parent-child shared reading. Investigators long-term goal is to test the effects of these approaches to promote child language and socio-emotional development.
