Study type | Interventional |
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.
