Caregiver-mediated interventions to support self-regulation among infants and young children (0-5 years): A protocol for a realist review

Self-regulation is a modifiable protective factor for lifespan mental and physical health outcomes.

To harness the population health promise of these programmes, there is a need for more nuanced understanding of the impact of these interventions.
