Caregiver-Child Interaction, Child Learning
Conditions
Brief summary
This study uses a mixed-methods, single-group pretest-posttest design to evaluate (1) implementation outcomes (acceptability, adoption, fidelity) and (2) preliminary changes associated with delivery of the adapted PlayReadVIP intervention in Family Care Center (FCC) settings.
Interventions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Provider Self-Efficacy | Pre-Intervention (Baseline), Post-Intervention Session (Day 1 up to Day 30, approximately) | Provider self-efficacy is measured using the Beliefs About Parent Support for Early Literacy Scale (BPSES). The BPSES consists of items assessing providers' confidence in managing children's behavior and supporting children's development. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree. The total score is calculated by summing all five items, and ranges from 5 to 25, with higher scores indicating greater provider self-efficacy. |
| Provider Perceptions of Children's Literacy Practices | Pre-Intervention (Baseline), Post-Intervention Session (Day 1 up to Day 30, approximately) | The Provider Perception survey was developed by the NYULH PlayReadVIP research team and includes frequency-based items assessing how often children in the provider's care engage in literacy-related behaviors, social interaction, communication, sustained attention during reading, and challenging behaviors. Each item is rated on a 10-point Likert scale from 0-9. The total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 0-72, with higher scores indicating greater frequency of the specified behaviors. |
| Cognitive Stimulation in the Caregiving Environment | Pre-Intervention (Baseline), Post-Intervention Session (Day 1 up to Day 30, approximately) | The StimQ-2 is a standardized, validated caregiver-report measure designed to assess the quality and frequency of cognitive stimulation activities provided to children in early childcare settings. The instrument includes 5-point Likert scale from 0-5 across multiple domains, including shared reading practices, caregiver teaching activities, verbal responsiveness, and availability of developmentally appropriate learning materials. The highest total StimQ Score is 39 and the lowest is 0. Higher scores indicate greater provision of cognitive stimulation within the caregiving environment. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Provider Job Stress | Pre-Intervention (Baseline), Post-Intervention Session (Day 1 up to Day 30, approximately) | The Child Care Worker Job Stress Inventory (CCW-JSI) is a survey that includes items drawn from three domains: job demands, job resources, and job control. Items are rated on a 5-point frequency scale ranging from 1-5; the total score is calculated as the sum of item responses and ranges from 51 to 255; higher scores indicate greater provider-reported job stress. |
| Caregiver-Child Interaction Quality: Adult Behavior | Pre-Intervention (Baseline), Post-Intervention Session (Day 1 up to Day 30, approximately) | Adult Child Interactive Reading Inventory (ACIRI) is an observational measure that assesses adult behaviors across multiple domains, including enhancing children's attention to text, promoting interactive reading and supporting comprehension, and use of literacy-supporting strategies. Each item is rated on a scale from 0-3; the total score is the average of all responses and ranges from 0-3, with higher scores indicating greater caregiver-child interactions. |
| Caregiver-Child Interaction Quality: Child Behavior | Pre-Intervention (Baseline), Post-Intervention Session (Day 1 up to Day 30, approximately) | Adult Child Interactive Reading Inventory (ACIRI) is an observational measure that assesses adult behaviors across multiple domains, including enhancing children's attention to text, promoting interactive reading and supporting comprehension, and use of literacy-supporting strategies. Each item is rated on a scale from 0-3; the total score is the average of all responses and ranges from 0-3, with higher scores indicating greater caregiver-child interactions. |
| Classroom Quality | Pre-Intervention (Baseline), Post-Intervention Session (Day 1 up to Day 30, approximately) | The Climate of Healthy Interactions for Learning and Development (CHILD) is a standardized observational measure that includes structured observation of classroom practices across nine domains, including transitions, directions and rules, social and emotional learning, adult awareness, adult affect, adult cooperation, adult-child interactions, individualized and developmentally appropriate practices, and child behaviors. The measure consists of 28 easily observable items, scored on a 5-point anchored Likert scale ranging from -2 (very undermining) to +2 (very promoting). The score range is then -2 to +2, with higher score indicating more promoting behavior. |
| Provider-Rated Acceptability, Appropriateness, and Feasibility of Intervention | Post-Intervention Session (Day 1 up to Day 30, approximately) | After completing all the intervention sessions (up to 3), the provider completes a Provider/Assistant Feedback survey developed by the NYULH PlayReadVIP research team, assessing the acceptability of the intervention. Each item is rated on a 10-point Likert scale from 0-9. The total score ranges from 0-99; higher scores indicate greater overall acceptability of the intervention. |
