Intended Outcomes and Core Components of Primary Care-Based Literacy Promotion as Defined by Experts.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Primary care-based literacy promotion enhances caregiver-child shared reading and child language outcomes, yet variation in implementation may dilute its impact. This study examines expert perspectives on intended outcomes of literacy promotion, as well as its core components, those necessary to achieve intended outcomes, and components that are recommended but adaptable to context.

Methods

We purposively sampled healthcare and policy experts in primary care-based literacy promotion from the U.S. and Canada for online, in-depth interviews. Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed iteratively engaging emergent and a priori codes based on the COmponents and Rationales for Effectiveness Fidelity Method and the team's prior work to identify themes.<
