Newborn Health Information Study

This is a randomized, controlled trial to test the use of an educational video during the newborn well-child visit. Parents who watch the video during their medical visit will be compared to those parents who receive traditional paper handouts. Measures obtained at baseline and 2-week follow-up include knowledge of infant development, self-efficacy with infant care, and problem-solving skills.
