Parent-child Interactions, Child Developmental Health, and Health System Costs at 6 Months Corrected Age

The aim of this novel health services research proposal is to assess the longer-term outcomes, to 6 months corrected age, of an adapted Family Integrated Care (FICare) model of care for moderate and late preterm infants admitted to a Level II neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This follow-up study will enroll infants at 6 months CA (± 1 month) recruited to the original FICare randomized controlled trial (clinicaltrials.gov ID: NCT02879799) from four level II NICU sites; two intervention and two control.
