Official title

SPRINT: Sparking Potential, Revealing Infant Neurocognitive Traits

Overview

This research focuses on the long-term cognitive development of children, including healthy infants and those who had a perinatal brain injury. As part of this research study, children complete virtual game and assessments. Parents will be asked to fill out questionnaires about their child's behavior and stress in the home. All study visits will take place online via Zoom.

Primary outcome measures

  • Infant Attention Task (IAT) [Time frame: Assessed at the 12,18, and 24-month time points]
  • Cognitive Adaptive Test/Clinical Linguistic & Auditory Milestone Scale (CAPUTE) [Time frame: Assessed at the 6 and 12-month time points]
Secondary outcome measures (9)
  • Confusion, Hubbub and Order Scale (CHAOS) [Time frame: Assessed at the 6, 9,12, and 24-month time point]
  • Parental Stress Scale [Time frame: Assessed at the 6,12,18, and 24-month time points]
  • Parenting Daily Hassle (PDH) Scales: Frequency Score [Time frame: Assessed at the 6,12,18, and 24-month time point]
  • Parenting Daily Hassle (PDH) Scales: Intensity Score [Time frame: Assessed at the 6,12,18, and 24-month time point]
  • Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (Peds-QL) [Time frame: Assessed at the 6, 9,18, and 24-month time point]
  • Early Executive Function Questionnaire (EEFQ) [Time frame: Assessed at the 6, 9,18, and 24-month time points]
  • Reilly Role Overload Questionnaire [Time frame: Assessed at the 6, 9,18, and 24-month time point]
  • Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool (BRIEF-P) [Time frame: Assessed at the 24-month time point]
  • Parent Report of Children's Abilities-Revised (PARCA-R) [Time frame: Assessed at the 24-month time point]
