Thesis

98 Chapter 5 al., 2006). When one or more behavioral red flags are identified during general surveillance, preventive care physicians and nurses will administer the CoSoS, as recommended in Dutch national screening guidelines (van Berckelaer-Onnes et al., 2015) and as taught in the training phase. Potential participants that meet inclusion criteria will be orally informed about the study at the well-baby clinics by their healthcare professional. Potential participants will receive a detailed information letter with the aim, content and time investment of the study. Contact information of the research team is provided, so parents can contact them if they have any questions. When parents decide to participate in the study with their child, they are asked to sign an informed consent form and return the form to the research team. Study phase Step 1: Baseline assessments (T1) After informed consent, parents will be asked to complete the baseline questionnaires send to them online (see Table 2). In addition, a home visit will be planned in order to film the parent-child interaction, perform semi-structured observations of the child, and testing of cognitive abilities (see Table 2). Step 2: Intervention Within two weeks after baseline assessments, children and parents allocated to the BEAR intervention group will start with the intervention. The care-as-usual group receives either no intervention or care that is normally organized in specific cases (see Interventions section below). Step 3: End point assessments (T2) About eight to ten weeks after baseline, endpoint measures will be conducted. Parents will be asked to complete questionnaires online (see Table 2). Additionally, parents in the BEAR condition will be asked to complete an extra questionnaire to receive feedback on several aspects of the new parent training. Semi-structured observations of the child and parentchild interaction will be repeated. Step 4: Follow-up assessments (T3) Follow-up measures will take place 6 months after endpoint (see Table 2). For the last time, parents will be requested to complete online questionnaires and semi-structured observations of the child and parent-child interaction will be conducted. Interventions BEAR condition A comprehensive description of the BEAR intervention offered to parents and children is described above and can be found in Table 1.
