Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Family Education and Parental Involvement	Parents will be oriented to the programme, tools provided for their own learning (pamphlets, information handouts, audio-visual resources), and a checklist of infant care topics to be completed. The primary caregiver will be asked to commit to spending one to two hours per day to attend education sessions on the topic(s) of their choice. Parents will be encouraged to provide progressively more daily care for their infants as they complete more education sessions. After each education session, parents will check off for each completed topic on their skills checklist.
