Research shows that families typically receive roughly half
of the number
of home visits expected.16, 17
For example, across three randomized controlled trials conducted
of Nurse Family Partnership, average dosage
of visits ranged from 45 to 62 percent.18 Research also shows that many, perhaps most, families enrolled in home visiting
programs drop out before their eligibility ends.16, 19,20 Some home visiting studies have varied the dosage that families were offered and found that fewer home visits produced
outcomes similar to higher levels
of exposure.21
As interest in the promise
of evidence - based home visiting
programs to improve
outcomes for children and families grows, policymakers and practitioners need guidance about how to implement them effectively and sustain high - fidelity implementation over the long term.
Other difficulties when conducting or evaluating research in this area include ensuring the equivalency
of the control and experimental groups in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), 10 controlling
for participant attrition (which may affect the validity
of findings by reducing group equivalence) and missed visits (which may affect validity by reducing
program intensity), 11 documenting that the
program was fully and accurately implemented, and determining whether the
program's theory
of change logically connects
program activities with intended
outcomes.
Supporting high - fidelity implementation
of evidence - based home visiting
programs has the potential to improve
outcomes for at - risk children and families.
This evaluation, mandated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
of 2010 (P.L. 111 - 148), is designed to build knowledge

outcomes for at - risk children and families.

program.7 At age three, intervention group children had significantly better cognitive and behavioural outcomes and improved parent - child intera
program.7 At age three, intervention group children had significantly better cognitive and behavioural
outcomes and improved parent - child interactions.
In their current state
of development, home visitation
programs do not appear to represent the low - cost solution to child health and developmental problems that policymakers and the public have hoped
for.5 However, information that is accumulating about long - term
outcomes and effective practices may lead to the development
of replicable
programs that are capable
of producing modest but consistent and positive results
for participating target families.
Participating children had higher rates
of high - school completion, lower rates
of grade retention and special education placement, and a lower rate
of juvenile arrests.32 Another example showing more intensive
programming has larger impacts is the Healthy Steps evaluation showing significantly better child language
outcomes when the
program was initiated prenatally through 24 months.33 These studies suggest that a more intensive intervention involving the child directly may be required
for larger effects to be seen.
In other words, even when home visitation
programs succeed in their goal
of changing parent behaviour, these changes do not appear to produce significantly better child
outcomes.21, 22 One recent exception, however, was a study
of the Home Instruction
Program for Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) model with low - income Latino families showing changes in home parenting and better third - grade math achievement.23 Earlier evaluations of HIPPY found mixed results regarding program effecti

Identifying core components
of interventions found to be effective and understanding what it takes to implement those components with fidelity to the
program model is critical to successful replication and scale - up
of effective
programs and practices in different community contexts and populations.7 There is growing recognition in the early childhood field
of the importance
of effective implementation and the need
for implementation research that can guide adoption, initial implementation, and ongoing improvement
of early childhood interventions.8, 9,10 The promise
of implementation research and using data to drive
program management is compelling because it offers a potential solution to the problem
of persistent gaps in
outcomes between at - risk children and their more well - off peers.
Research has demonstrated that a large proportion
of mothers served in home visiting suffer from mental health problems, with up to 50 percent experiencing clinically elevated levels
of depression during the critical first years
of their child's development.5 There is evidence that many depressed mothers fail to fully benefit from home visiting.6 Identifying depressed mothers or those at risk
for depression who are participating in home visiting, and treating or preventing the condition and its deleterious consequences, can improve
program outcomes and foster healthy child development.
These eight districts joined our original five districts — Dallas ISD (Dallas, TX), Little Rock (AR), Memphis City Schools (TN), Orange County Public Schools (FL), and Prince George's County Public Schools (MD)-- in the work

The primary goal
of parent support
programs is to provide support and information in ways that help parents become more capable and competent.2, 3 Research now indicates that to reach this goal, it is necessary that staff use practices that are family - centered as opposed to professionally - centered, and capacity - building as opposed to dependency forming.4, 5,6,7 The key characteristics
of family - centered practices include: treating families with dignity and respect; providing individual, flexible and responsive support; sharing information so families can make informed decisions; ensuring family choice regarding intervention options; and providing the necessary resources and supports
for parents to care
for their children in ways that produce optimal parent and child
outcomes.8, 9,10,11
