Minding the baby: enhancing reflectiveness to improve early health and relationship outcomes in an interdisciplinary home-visiting program.
Open accessAbstract
® (MTB), an interdisciplinary, mentalization-based intervention in which home visiting services are provided by a team that includes a nurse practitioner and a clinical social worker. Families are recruited during mother's pregnancy and continue through the child's second birthday. Analyses revealed that intervention families were more likely to be on track with immunization schedules at 12 months, had lower rates of rapid subsequent childbearing, and were less likely to be referred to child protective services. In addition, mother-infant interactions were less likely to be disrupted at 4 months when mothers were teenagers, and all intervention infants were more likely to be securely attached, and less likely to be disorganized in relation to attachment at one year. Finally, mothers' capacity to reflect on their own and their child's experience improved over the course of the intervention in the most high-risk mothers.

“Strong parental reflective functioning is associated with more secure attachment relationships, and is thus a target of many attachment-focused interventions for parents with and without SUDs (Pajulo et al., 2006; Paris et al., 2015; Sadler et al., 2013; Stover et al., 2017; Zayde et al., 2020)”

“A significantly different improvement in maternal reflective functioning was found only in mothers in the intervention group who had absent or very low RF before the birth of the child (PI-RF < 3).”

“Among other outcomes, a cluster randomized controlled trial (Sadler et al., 2013) investigated the improvement in reflective functioning in mothers who received the MTB intervention and in mothers who received the standard care at their local community health center when the children were 2 years old.”

“In addition, they highlighted that maternal RF develops not only during the 1st years of life, but also throughout adolescence, thus they argued that the young age of the mothers in their sample could have contributed to their unexpected findings.”

In the citing paper
“However, two recent studies (Sadler et al., 2013; Fonagy et al., 2016) found a general improvement in the mother-child relationship, but quite notably they did not find a significant increase in PDI-RF when comparing the outcomes of mentalization-based treatment with the outcome of other interventions.”

In the citing paper
“Consistent with these findings, data from a home-based mentalization intervention with maternal a sample suggested that infants in the intervention (vs. controls) were more likely to have a secure attachment and show less disorganization at one year of age (Sadler et al., 2013).”

“…to a control group of families receiving care as usual in their community, younger mothers enrolled in MTB had less disrupted interactions with their infant at 4 months, and across all mothers, children of mothers in MTB had higher rates of secure attachment at 24 months (Sadler et al., 2013).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
