title: Strategy for promoting greater responsiveness in adolescent parent/infant relationships: report of a pilot study.
abstract: A small pilot study tested an interaction coaching procedure designed to increase the level of responsiveness in adolescent parent/infant interaction behavior with 12 teenage parents and their infants. There was a significant increase in the level of responsiveness and parental self-esteem scores after the intervention compared with those before the intervention. Although the sample size was small, the results are encouraging and suggest further development of the intervention, Interaction Coaching for Adolescent Parents and their Infants (ICAP).
