Abstract

Growing evidence suggests that experiences in the early years play a major role in children’s development in terms of health, wellbeing and educational attainment. The Trial of healthy relationship initiatives for the very early years (THRIVE) aims to evaluate two antenatal group interventions, Enhanced Triple P for Baby and Mellow Bumps, designed for those with additional health or social care needs in pregnancy. As both interventions aim to improve maternal mental health and parenting skills, we hypothesise that in the longer term, participation may lead to an improvement in children’s life trajectories.

Bibliographical note

THRIVE was funded by the National Institute for Health Research Public Health Research Programme (PHR Project: 11/3002/01). The views expressed are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of the NHS, the NIHR or the Department of Health and Social Care. Intervention Subvention Funding was provided by the CSO and Scottish Government (GN12KH589 THRIVE). Neither the trial funders nor Sponsor (NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde Health Board (Reference GN12KH589)) will have any involvement in the implementation of the study design or the analysis of the data. The Sponsor will, however, play an active role in the delivery of the interventions, through employing and managing group facilitators. The Sponsor will also be the grant holder of the subvention funding, granted by the CSO and the Scottish Government to deliver the groups. Approval for all documentation to be used with the trial must be granted by the Sponsor as it will be delivered to NHS patients. Likewise, permission must be sought from the trial funders prior to any public engagement regarding the trial including conference presentations or academic articles.
