Low-income mother-infant pairs were randomly assigned to rooming-in (N = 143) or to routine (N = 158) postpartum contact to determine whether rooming-in affects subsequent adequacy in parenting. At mean age 17 months, two rooming-in and ten control children had experienced inadequate parenting. One rooming-in and eight control children were hospitalized for these problems. One rooming-in and five control families were reported to Protective Services for mistreatment of the study child; five control and no rooming-in children were in the care of adults other than their parents at the time of data analysis. In this study, rooming-in correlated with fewer subsequent cases of parenting inadequacy.
低收入母婴对被随机分配到母婴同室组（N = 143）或常规产后接触组（N = 158），以确定母婴同室是否会影响后续养育的充分性。平均年龄17个月时，有两名母婴同室的儿童和十名对照组儿童经历了养育不足。有一名母婴同室的儿童和八名对照组儿童因这些问题住院。有一个母婴同室家庭和五个对照组家庭因虐待研究儿童而被报告给保护服务机构；在数据分析时，有五个对照组儿童而非母婴同室组儿童由父母以外的成年人照顾。在本研究中，母婴同室与后续养育不足的病例较少相关。
