This book was released on 2011 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest Evidence-Based Home Visiting Supplemental Information Request (SIR) has recently been released by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) with collaboration from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) as outlined in the first Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). This information request provides states guidance in preparing their updated plans for their home visiting programs. States must complete these plans to receive federal funds for home visiting programs. The new information request strengthens the earlier guidance in important ways. The SIR addresses the requirements for updated state plans, the steps necessary for completing the requirements, and how HHS will review plans. It includes information explaining the criteria HHS uses to determine evidence-based models, the models initially found to meet the criteria, and details about using "promising approaches" in addition to evidence-based models. The SIR also addresses program implementation and requires states to update their plans to focus on quality. In addition to using evidence-based models, the SIR offers guidance on how states can use up to 25 percent of funding permitted in the law for promising approaches.

This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program supports home visiting services for families with young children who reside in communities that have concentrations of poor child health and other risk indicators. Home visits are conducted by nurses, mental health clinicians, social workers, or paraprofessionals with specialized training. Generally, they visit the homes of eligible families on a regular basis (e.g., weekly or monthly) over an extended period (e.g., six months or longer) to provide support to caregivers and children, such as guidance on creating a positive home environment and referrals to community resources. Families participate on a voluntary basis. Research on the efficacy of home visiting has shown that some models can help improve selected child and family outcomes, such as reducing child abuse. In FY2015, the MIECHV program supported 145,561 individual parents and children and conducted 912,119 home visits. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act established the MIECHV program under Section 511 of the Social Security Act in March 2010. The program is jointly administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS's) Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). Congress directly appropriated five years of mandatory funding for the program in the MIECHV authorizing statute: $100 million for FY2010; $250 million for FY2011; $350 million for FY2012; and $400 million for each of FY2013 and FY2014. (The funds in FY2013, FY2014, and FY2017 were subject to sequestration.) The statute has twice been amended to appropriate $400 million for each of FY2015, FY2016, and FY2017. MIECHV funding is provided primarily to states and territories to administer home visiting programs, and funds are awarded on both a formula and a competitive basis. The law requires that HHS reserve 3% of the annual appropriation for Indian tribal entities, and funding is provided to tribes on a competitive basis to carry out home visiting services. Another 3% is to be reserved for training, technical assistance, and evaluations. States, territories, and tribes must carry out their home visiting programs as specified in the law. Among other requirements, jurisdictions had to conduct needs assessments to identify communities with concentrations of poor infant health and other negative outcomes for children and families; the availability and use of home visiting services; and the capacity for providing substance abuse treatment and counseling in the jurisdiction. Under the program, these jurisdictions are required to achieve gains in four of six "benchmark" (or outcome) areas pertaining to family well-being and coordination of community resources. The majority of annual funding (a minimum of 75%) for jurisdictions that administer home visiting programs must be used to support a program model that has shown sufficient evidence of effectiveness. The remaining 25% of funds may be used to implement models that have promise of effectiveness. HHS has established criteria for determining whether home visiting models are effective and reviews home visiting models on an ongoing basis via the Home Visiting Evidence of Effectiveness (HomVEE) project. The project has determined that 18 models are evidence-based. Generally, these models have shown impacts in one or more outcomes in maternal and child health; early childhood social, emotional, and cognitive development; family/parent functioning; and links to other resources. In FY2016, jurisdictions had implemented 10 of the 17 models using MIECHV funding: Child First, Early Head Start-Home Visiting (EHS-HV), Family Check-Up (FCU), Family Spirit, Health Access Nurturing Development Services (HANDS) Program, Healthy Families America (HFA), Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY), Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP), Parents as Teachers (PAT), and SafeCare Augmented.

Book excerpt: "Children from low-income families often have poor social, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and health outcomes. One approach that has helped parents and their young children is home visiting, which provides information, resources, and support to expectant parents and families with young children. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act greatly expanded the availability of home visiting when it amended Title V of the Social Security Act to create the federal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV). In doing so, it allocated $1.5 billion from fiscal year 2010 to fiscal year 2014 to states, territories, and tribes to fund home visiting programs ... MIECHV required states to make a priority of services for at-risk families in order to improve a broad range of outcomes related to parental and child health and well-being, parenting, economic self-sufficiency, and intimate partner violence ... This report presents the first findings from the Mother and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation (MIHOPE), the legislatively mandated national evaluation of MIECHV ... The study is being conducted by MDRC in partnership with James Bell Associates, Johns Hopkins University, Mathematica Policy Research, the University of Georgia, and Columbia University. This report provides a foundation for understanding the implementation and impacts of MIECHV-funded home visiting programs. Later reports will explore the local and national implementation of those programs, and their effects on families with young children."--Page iii.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home visiting programs in the United States seek to improve maternal and child health, child development, and family economic self-sufficiency by supporting and educating families with young children. Today, home visiting is seen as an important strategy for high-risk families who may be difficult to engage in other services. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 included $1.5 billion over five years for states to operate the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program. It also required a national evaluation of the programs. This document describes the design of that evaluation -- the Mother and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation (MIHOPE). MIHOPE was launched in 2011 by the Administration for Children and Families and the Health Resources and Services Administration within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The evaluation is being conducted by MDRC in partnership with Mathematica Policy Research, James Bell Associates, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Georgia, and Columbia University. MIHOPE will include the following components: -An analysis of state needs assessments will describe the communities that states chose to target with MIECHV program services. -An implementation study will collect information on the services provided by local programs as well as the factors that helped shape those programs. -An impact analysis will estimate the effects of home visiting programs on family outcomes, both overall and for key subgroups of families. -An economic analysis will assess program costs and savings. The study will include approximately 5,100 families with a pregnant woman or a child under 6 months old. Families who enroll in the study will be randomly assigned to a home visiting group or to a comparison group that can use other services available in their community. Families will be spread across about 85 local programs in about 12 states. Sites must be operating one of four national models of home visiting: Early Head Start-Home Visiting Option, Healthy Families America, Nurse-Family Partnership, or Parents as Teachers. These four models were chosen because they are being implemented using MIECHV program funds in at least 10 states. Data for the implementation and impact studies will be collected from a variety of sources, including interviews with parents; observations of the home environment; observed interactions of parents and children; direct assessments of children's development; observations of home visitors in their work with families during home visits; logs, observations, and interviews with home visitors, supervisors, and program administrators; program model documentation from program developers, grantees, and local sites; and administrative data on child abuse, health care use, maternal health, birth outcomes, and employment and earnings. The study will produce a report to Congress in 2015 that includes information on families and sites included in the evaluation as well as information on how states made decisions about how to spend home visiting funds. Later reports will provide more information on program implementation, the effects of home visiting programs for families, and the features of programs that are associated with larger effects.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book & CD-ROM. The Home Visiting Program is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in partnership with the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). Congress created the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (Home Visiting Program) to support voluntary, evidence-based home visiting services for at-risk pregnant women and parents with young children up to kindergarten entry. The Home Visiting Program builds upon decades of scientific research showing that home visits by a nurse, social worker, early childhood educator, or other trained professional during pregnancy and in the first years of life improve the lives of children and families by preventing child abuse and neglect, supporting positive parenting, improving maternal and child health, and promoting child development and school readiness. Research also shows that evidence-based home visiting can provide a positive return on investment to society through savings in public expenditures on emergency room visits, child protective services, special education, as well as increased tax revenues from parents' earnings. This book examines the first findings from the Home Visiting Program.

Download or read book A Comparison of Three Evidence Based Home Visiting Programs Aimed at the Prevention of Childhood Maltreatment written by Messina Michelle Michalsky and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood maltreatment has lifetime consequences to a child's mental and physical health. For decades childhood maltreatment has been recognized as a public health crisis. In 2010, The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 created the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV) to promote and improve the health, development and well-being of at risk children and families through evidence based home visiting programs. This initiative has recognized home visiting programs as an early intervention preventative step in reducing incidence of childhood maltreatment. Urie Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory of Development was used as the theoretical framework. This paper outlines and compares the effectiveness of the Nurse-Family Partnership, Parents as Teachers, and Early Head Start Home Visiting programs. The objectives of the paper are to provide a literature review exploring the ecological effects of childhood maltreatment, compare three home visiting programs delivery, efficacy, staffing, and costs. The Nurse Family Partnership is implemented in two cities in Montana. The fidelity of the program requires baccalaureate nurses. Appropriately trained personnel and funds must be available to implement. Parents as Teachers is the most widely used program in Montana accounting for sixteen programs. It costs the least of the three programs and is implemented by paraprofessionals. Early Headstart Home Visiting is offered in ten Head Start facilities throughout Montana. This is an option offered to families, but not utilized by all. Nurse Family Partnership showed favorable results in both reduction of childhood maltreatment and positive parenting practices. Parents as Teachers and Early Headstart Home Visiting findings enhanced positive parenting practices, but had mixed results in the prevention of childhood maltreatment. Much of the research of home visiting programs did not identify childhood maltreatment as a main intervention, which was evidenced by mixed results of effectiveness among the programs. Evidenced based home visiting programs are new to Montana. It may take years of implementation before effectiveness is assured. Home visiting programs need further study and a clear focus of program goals and measurements in order to correlate interventions with the reduction of childhood maltreatment.

Book excerpt: The passage of national health reform in March 2010 included a new federal home visiting grant program aimed at improving health and development outcomes for young children and strengthening families in at-risk communities. The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program, enacted by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, will provide $1.5 billion in federal funds over the next five years to eligible grantees, one per state designated by the governor, to support evidence-based, voluntary home visiting programs for pregnant women and parents and caregivers of young children. This brief is intended to assist applicants in developing grant proposals for the home visiting program. It outlines critical steps and components for completing the grant application process, and in particular provides data and research-based insights on key elements of the new program, as outlined thus far by the authorizing legislation and/or the guidance offered by HRSA and ACF. This brief does not address every element required for inclusion in state applications and is not intended to be used as a checklist. Rather, it provides resource information that can be used in planning and conducting the needs assessment, identifying high-risk populations, and selecting and measuring benchmarks.
