| Scientific title | Prevention of conduct problems and anti-social behaviour in at risk infants: a small scale cluster, non-randomised trial |
| Study acronym | IY Infant evaluation |
| Study hypothesis | The main hypothesis is that attendance at an Incredible Years Infant group for 8 weeks will increase parental confidence and encourage positive parenting as measured using the coded observed interactions and expressed emotion at the 6- and 12-month post baseline follow-up visit. Other areas of interest in this study are the level of appropriate stimulation provided to the infants, which could encourage the developmental quotient of the infants. Parental mental well-being may be improved through the supportive environment and encouragement of participants to link up with other group members for support both during and after the group. The emphasis on safety issues may raise parents' awareness of the potential hazards and action needed to prevent unintentional injury in the home. As the results of the toddler study suggests maternal mental well-being may increase following attendance on the infant programme. |

|---|---|
| Age group | Mixed |

| Target number of participants | 78 families in total. We aim to recruit families on a 2:1 ratio (Intervention:control) in the research (54 Intervention and 24 control) |
| Participant inclusion criteria | 1. Participants must have babies that are 2 - 16 weeks old at the baseline visits and are deemed by their Health visitor to live on a low income 2. Intervention families must agree to attend the 8-week programme with their baby |
| Participant exclusion criteria | 1. Parents that have previously attended a Baby parenting programme are excluded from the research 2. Families that live beyond North and Mid Wales are excluded as Group leaders will need to attend weekly supervisory meetings and families will need home visits by the researcher. One Intervention cluster will provide parent-completed measures collected by their group leader. |
