You may qualify if…

• Caregivers will be eligible to enroll in the study if they bring children to the MCC for either a 4-month, 6-month, 9-month, 15-month, or 18-month WCC. Notably, we anticipate the majority of participants to be of Hispanic origin and many to be exclusively Spanish-speaking. All Research Assistants (RAs) working directly with caregivers will be bilingual according to Emory Spanish fluency testing. We will solicit expert opinion from faculty that work with these communities and the staff of MCC that work with these patients on a regular basis.

You may not qualify if…

• Caregivers will be excluded if they are unable to speak and read either English or Spanish. Caregivers will also be excluded if they have already been enrolled in the study protocol via another child or prior WCC. Caregivers who are under the age of 18 years will also be excluded.
