Video-Based Anticipatory Guidance on Early Cognitive and Language Development in the First 6 Months: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

This randomized controlled trial showed that video-based anticipatory guidance implemented at well-child visits in the first 6 months increased knowledge of early cognitive and language development (P < .001), which in turn promoted cognitive growth fostering behaviors among parents of low socioeconomic status (95% CI 0.09-0.

Social consequences and contexts of adverse childhood experiences.

Adverse childhood experiences' (ACEs) negative consequences on health, education, and life opportunities are often explained through the neurodevelopmental changes in a person's stress reactivity and coping, which contribute to the adoption of health-damaging and antisocial behaviors. However, such focus on the biological dimension eclipses the equally important social dimension of adversity, in particular, how adversities at home can influence association with peers who exhibit and can exacerbate negative behaviors like early and binge drinking, illegal drug use, and gang involvement. More than the consequences for peer formation, this study also investigates the contexts in which ACEs are most predictive.
