ClinConnect Summary

The MOCITRAINING study is looking at how pediatricians can better support the relationship between mothers and their babies, especially during the first month after birth. The goal is to see if teaching doctors to focus on both the mother and child together during visits can improve their interactions and overall well-being in the short and medium term. This study is important because strong mother-child relationships are crucial for the child’s development and can help address issues like child behavior disorders and maternal depression.

To participate in this study, mothers and their one-month-old (plus or minus 15 days) biological children can join, but mothers need to be able to read French and provide consent after being fully informed about the study. Unfortunately, preterm babies, twins, or those with certain medical conditions won’t be eligible. If you join the study, you can expect to take part in a program designed to enhance your interactions with your child, and you’ll have the support of healthcare professionals throughout the process.
