Participants in Building Blocks (BB) and the Video Interaction Project (VIP) were linked with the NYC-EIP administrative dataset to determine referrals. In all, 139 of 422 study participants (31.4%) meeting inclusion criteria were referred to the NYC-EIP. Although referrals did not differ overall by group (VIP 29.8%; BB 33.8%; control 35.3%), differences were found for mothers with education/literacy of seventh grade or higher (interaction p = .02). In that subgroup, VIP was associated with reduced referrals by age 3 years (22.4%; adjusted odds ratio 0.53; 95% confidence interval [0.29, 0.97]), compared with BB (35.0%) and controls (34.3%), with survival analysis showing reduced cumulative risk ( p = .04). We conclude that VIP resulted in reduced referrals for early intervention evaluation among children of mothers with seventh-grade education or higher. child development cognitive development behavior problems and disorders disabilities and development delays Society for Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics https://doi.org/10.13039/100011168 National Institute of Child Health and Human Development https://doi.org/10.13039/100000071 3R01 HD047740-03S1 National Institute of Child Health and Human Development https://doi.org/10.13039/100000071 3R01HD047740-08S1 National Institute of Child Health and Human Development https://doi.org/10.13039/100000071 R01 HD047740 01-09 New York Community Trust https://doi.org/10.13039/100000918 Nancy Lurie Marks Family Foundation https://doi.org/10.13039/100007429 edited-state corrected-proof We are grateful to many individuals who contributed to this project, including Melissa Acevedo, Jenny Arevalo, Nina Burtchen, Caitlin Canfield, Diego Catalan, Aida Custode, Oksana Gray, Pamela Kim, Jennifer Ledesma, Elizabeth Jennifer Lee, Breanna Luster, Maya Matalon, Caroline Raak, Daniela Romero, Anne Seery, Melissa Tunik, Jessica Urgelles, Kristina Vlahovicova, Linda Votruba, Lisa White, Caroline Wilkes, Margaret Wolff, and Brenda Woodford.
