Treatment and study plan

Play Nicely Program

Behavioral

The intervention was the Play Nicely program, a multimedia educational program. Permission to demonstrate the program to multiple viewers was obtained from the copyright holder. English speaking caregivers viewed the 2nd English language edition and Spanish speaking caregivers viewed the Spanish edition. In the program, there are 16 options (20 options in the Spanish version) to respond to the hypothetical situation of witnessing a young child have hurtful behavior toward another child. Caregivers in the intervention group were instructed to view 4 of the interactive options of their choosing. On average, it takes 1 minute to view one option. Parents in the control group received routine primary care with their pediatrician.
