Financial Transfers

"Mothers assigned to the intervention group will be informed that they are eligible to receive financial transfers $160/week on a debit-card with a one-time label or scripted message that states: This money is intended to help you to spend more time visiting and caring for your infant(s) in the NICU. Financial transfers will begin 1 week after birth or when the mother is discharged (whichever comes later) until the infant is discharged, except in cases where the hospitalization lasts beyond 42 weeks corrected age."
