Effects of Early Community Services on Child and Family Development

Child Development Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effects of Early Community Services on Child and Family Development

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the effects on early child development of early community services, including a brief nurse home visiting program. Investigators hypothesize that nurse home visiting program participants will be significantly different than non- nurse home visiting program participants on the following child and family outcomes: (a) (reduced) infant emergency room use and overnight hospital stays; (b) (increased) family use of community resources and (higher quality) child care; (c) (increased) maternal wellbeing; and (d) (increased) quality of the home environment, including home safety and supportive parenting by both parents. The study will also explore long-term differences between the nurse home visiting program recipients and non-recipients in (a) rates of official investigations for child maltreatment and (b) two indicators of early educational achievement: kindergarten readiness scores and rates of kindergarten attendance.

Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the effects on child and family development of early community services, including a brief nurse home visiting program. The proposed study will be conducted in partnership with the brief nurse home visiting program and Sinai Hospital, both located in Baltimore, MD. For the purposes of this study, Sinai Hospital will serve as the community/catchment area. Nurse home visitors enroll new mothers into the nurse home visiting program while they are still in the hospital/maternity ward. When the current study officially begins, nurse home visitors will recruit new mothers into the nurse home visiting program every other day only (on odd dates). Research staff will recruit all Baltimore City residents who give birth at Sinai Hospital, regardless of odd/even birth date, while they are still in the hospital/maternity ward. ;
