Family care for preterm babies in the hospital
Treatments studied
This trial tests whether a program that brings parents into the daily care of their preterm or low-birth-weight baby can help the baby recover faster and go home sooner. If you can spend up to 8 hours a day at the hospital, this study may be a good fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be between 0 and 28 days old.
