Study design
RECRUITMENT
The study has a quasi-experimental design. It is a non-randomized trial, carried out in the setting of PCH. A comparison is made between an intervention group and a control group: the intervention group consists of parent-infant dyads who receive the intervention Shantala Infant Massage as part of the care offered by their PCH organization. The control group consists of parent-infant dyads whose PCH organization does not offer this intervention as part of their standard care. Participant recruitment started in August 2021 and will end mid-2023. Data collection will continue until the end of 2023.
