Northwell Health Visits: A Family Connects Pilot Implementation at

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Northwell Health Visits (NHV) is a three year pilot replication of the evidence-based model, Family Connects, which is a brief universal Nurse Practitioner home visiting program for new mothers and their infants. We seek to compare outcomes among mothers and infants enrolled in the NHV enhanced intervention arm, those enrolled in the NHV screening-only arm, and those in the control arm. NHV will follow a three- armed randomized control trial design.

Clinical Trial Description

Northwell Health Visits (NHV) is based on Family Connects (formerly Durham Connects), which is a short-term, universal, inexpensive postnatal nurse home visiting program designed to provide brief parenting intervention and to connect families with community resources based on individualized assessments of family needs. The intervention was found to reduce the number of infant emergency medical care episodes and rates of anxiety in mothers, as well as increase community connection, positive parenting behaviors, participation in higher quality out-of-home child care when implemented in Durham, so we are looking to replicate these outcomes. We are adapting the model to serve the local population that is served by Northwell Health - Katz Women's Hospital at Long Island Jewish (LIJ) Medical Center, to see if increasing services in and around discharge is more useful for mothers and infants, and improves outcomes for infants. The focus is of early intervention (education and support by Nurse Practitioner), and connection to community agencies, in order to: reduce healthcare costs, decrease the rate of mothers and infants Potentially Preventable Emergency Room Visits (PPVs), adhere to well-baby care and mother's postpartum care schedules, improve family functioning, strengthen family partnerships and well-being, reduce necessary reports to child protective services, improve mental and physical health outcomes of mothers and infants within the first six months of life. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
