Early infancy studies and intervention results in Latin-American countries: Chilean experiences (Symposium Chair)

Abstract

Early infancy in Latin-American countries •Studies and early childhood interventions have demonstrated their relevance, but few studies have been conducted in Latin-American countries. •Researches have shown cultural differences on a number of issues related to parenting and child skills, then studies that collect cultural specificity are increasingly important. •Chile is a country where differences by socioeconomic and cultural status are higher than in the US or European countries, with specific parenting beliefs to each subgroup, and higher rates of maternal depression.
