2 - Preventive intervention evaluations: Work package 2 (WP2)

Coordination: University College Dublin (UCD)

Objectives

- Compare results from perinatal preventive interventions in France and Ireland

- Plan evaluations of perinatal and child care preventive interventions in Brazil and Chile

Description of work

- Analyse and compare results from preventive interventions in France and Ireland and analyse available data on ongoing perinatal and child care preventive interventions in Brazil and Chile. This work will require workshops and seminars on statistical methods to compare experiments with small sample size, and on analyses of data from innovations that are not using RCTs (randomized control trials). Participants will present results in the network wide meetings and in international meetings.

- Write protocols for randomized control trials (RCTs) on perinatal and day care preventive interventions in Brazil and Chile. This will involve comparative analyses of previous trials including those from WP 4. Participants will be involved in the workshops and seminars described in WP 4.

Deliverables

- A report on results from the preventive interventions in France and Ireland will be delivered on the 36th month after the start of the programme.

- A report describing results from available data on ongoing perinatal and child care preventive interventions in Brazil and Chile, and the protocols for randomized control trials will be delivered on the 48th month after the start of the programme.

Principal investigators

Leaders are Prof R. E. Tremblay (UCD, Ireland) and Prof J. E. Garcia-Huidobro (UAH, Chile). Most senior researchers have some involvement in WP 2. There will be early career researchers from all participant institution working on this WP. Half of the early stage researchers will have some involvement because of the natural link with WP1.
