Summary:
To determine the feasibility of an intervention to promote the physical and socioemotional health of African American (AA) families.

Primary Outcome Measures: Acceptability as measured by the Acceptability of Intervention Measure, Acceptability of Intervention Measure (modified) uses the following scale: Completely disagree / Disagree / Neither agree nor disagree / Agree / Completely agree.

The more participants agree or completely agree, the better the outcome., 9.5 months|Feasibility as measured by the Acceptability of Intervention Measure, Acceptability of Intervention Measure - Feasibility (modified) uses the following scale: Completely disagree / Disagree / Neither agree nor disagree / Agree / Completely agree.

The more participants agree or completely agree, the better the outcome, 9.5 months|Semi-structured Interview, Semi-structured interview is measured by Qualitative Interview Questions that assess practicality, acceptability and appropriateness., 9.5 months
Secondary Outcome Measures: Parenting Confidence, Measured via Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale. Each item on the Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale is scored 0, 1, 2, or 3. There are no reverse-scored items and items have a common scoring order. That is, for each item the first response is scored 0, the second 1, and so on. Items marked not applicable are scored 2. Scores are then summed to give a total score (range = 0-45). The higher the range the better the outcome., 2 months and 9.5 months|Well child visit attendance, Number of well child visits missed during the 9 month intervention, 9 months|Parent stress, Measured via perceived stress scale.

Perceived Stress Scale score by following these directions:

First, reverse the scores for questions 4, 5, 7, and 8. On these 4 questions, change the scores like• this: 0 = 4, 1 = 3, 2 = 2, 3 = 1, 4 = 0. Now add up the scores for each item to get a total. Individual scores on the Perceived Stress Scale can range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress.

* Scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress.
* Scores ranging from 14-26 would be considered moderate stress.
* Scores ranging from 27-40 would be considered high perceived stress., At baseline and 9.5 months|Child Acute Care Utilization, Number of Emergency Department visits, Throughout the 9 month intervention|Child Acute Care Utilization, Number of unplanned hospitalizations, Throughout the 9 month intervention|Family Empowerment, Measured via the Family Empowerment Scale

This measures scores for the subscales are simple means. Calculate the mean for each subscale by adding the scores for the subscale items that have NOT been answered "Not Applicable," and dividing by the number of questions that were answered "Never...Very Often" (1 through 5). If there are missing items (up to 3) in responses 1-5, add the scores for the subscale items, and divide by the number of answered questions.

Add responses to all of the subscales for an overall score but be aware that each of the subscales addresses quite a different topic (Family, Service System, Community). Many published articles have employed the method of adding all items for an overall score.

Examining each subscale score in relation to other variables of interest is another approach that may yield more specific information., 2 months and 9.5 months
