Co-regulation and Interaction in the NICU
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how parents and their premature babies interact in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). It aims to understand co-regulation, which is how parents and babies adjust to each other's cues, and how this might support the baby's development.
