Abstract

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of the Baby TALK (Teaching Activities for Learning and Knowledge) Home Visiting Model in promoting child development, parental mental health, and community integration among refugee and immigrant families with young children. Conducted in partnership with a refugee resettlement organization in Chicago, the study included 199 participants randomly assigned to either an intervention or control group. The intervention group received biweekly home visits over 12 months focused on culturally responsive parent–child engagement, developmental curriculum, and resource linkages. Outcomes included child language and social-emotional development, parental stress and trauma symptoms, employment as a measure of self-sufficiency, and access to community resources.
