Language-rich interactions with a parent or caregiver can serve as a protective factor for young children, by supporting their language development and other positive long-term outcomes, but existing interventions have not had the necessary reach to families who need this information the most. This study utilizes the primary care setting as a low cost, scalable way to deliver language promotion intervention. Specifically, we will test the effectiveness and explore implementation of language promotion intervention (Talk With Me Baby) that embeds within anticipatory guidance during pediatric well-child care to boost early language development and optimize health, academic, and economic outcomes.
