They learn to recognize their infants' cues indicating readiness to engage in play and they are introduced to specific, developmentally appropriate activities for interactive engagement. The guidance is delivered to parents during routine home visits by public health visitors.The aims of the Playful Learning in Infancy Program are to 1) promote playful interactions between infants and parents, parental attitudes towards play, and infant socioemotional development; 2) enhance the language and knowledge of playful learning in infancy among frontline staff; and 3) evaluate the Playful Learning in Infancy Program for potential testing in a future large-scale RCT study.Evaluation is based on a parallel group study design, with half of the participants receiving care as usual and half of the participants receiving care as usual along with the Playful Learning in Infancy Program., conditionsModule conditions: Parent-Child Relations, conditions: Infant Development, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, interventionModelDescription: Evaluation is based on a parallel group study, with half of the participants receiving care as usual and half of the participants receiving care as usual along with the Playful Learning in Infancy Program., primaryPurpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE, maskingInfo masking: NONE, enrollmentInfo count: 2327, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Playful Learning in Infancy Program, interventions name: Postnatal care as usual, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Parental Playful interactions, secondaryOutcomes measure: Parental Stress, secondaryOutcomes measure: Infant Socio-emotional Development, secondaryOutcomes measure: Infant Level of Play, secondaryOutcomes measure: Parental Mind-Mindedness, secondaryOutcomes measure: Parental Attachment Style, secondaryOutcomes measure: Parental Mental Well-Being, secondaryOutcomes measure: Infant Screen Time, secondaryOutcomes measure: Questions developed for the study regarding Parental Involvement, secondaryOutcomes measure: Questions developed for the study regarding Parental Knowledge of Play, secondaryOutcomes measure: Parental Experience of the PLIP, secondaryOutcomes measure: Health Visitors' Experience of the PLIP, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Center for Early Interventions and Family Studies, Department of Psychology, University of Copenhagen, status: RECRUITING, city: Copenhagen, zip: 1353, country: Denmark, contacts name: Mette S.
