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.

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 2019-11-27 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are the foundation of the United States, and supporting them is a key component of building a successful future. However, millions of children face health inequities that compromise their development, well-being, and long-term outcomes, despite substantial scientific evidence about how those adversities contribute to poor health. Advancements in neurobiological and socio-behavioral science show that critical biological systems develop in the prenatal through early childhood periods, and neurobiological development is extremely responsive to environmental influences during these stages. Consequently, social, economic, cultural, and environmental factors significantly affect a child's health ecosystem and ability to thrive throughout adulthood. Vibrant and Healthy Kids: Aligning Science, Practice, and Policy to Advance Health Equity builds upon and updates research from Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity (2017) and From Neurons to Neighborhoods: The Science of Early Childhood Development (2000). This report provides a brief overview of stressors that affect childhood development and health, a framework for applying current brain and development science to the real world, a roadmap for implementing tailored interventions, and recommendations about improving systems to better align with our understanding of the significant impact of health equity.

Download or read book Maternal and Child Health Home Visiting Evaluations Using Large Pre existing Data Sets written by Katherine Brind'Amour and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Although popular and prevalent nationwide, maternal and early childhood home visiting interventions are, in many cases, of uncertain effectiveness.Methods: For Studies 1 and 2, the Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) Columbus, Ohio location was evaluated via propensity score matching with non-participants for its impact on a range of health outcomes. For Study 3, the National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) was used to create a nationally representative profile of the home visiting population using descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis. Results: In Studies 1 and 2, matching revealed greater likelihood to have a C-section, low birth weight, and to be enrolled in WIC for women and infants participating in the Columbus NFP compared to non-participating matches. In Study 3, descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis indicated substantial differences between participants and non-participants. Conclusions: There is no conclusive evidence that the Columbus NFP program is effective at achieving its stated goals; however, the studies' limitations were considerable. The national profile created using the NSCH supports that there are substantial differences between participants and non-participants, with home visiting participants reflecting greater health and environmental risks and lower socioeconomic status, but perhaps better parental engagement. Improved data collection and evaluation methods, as well as confirmatory factor analysis and changes in questions for the NSCH data, may help improve opportunities for home visiting evaluation in the future.

Download or read book Assessing the Need for Evidence Based Home Visiting EBHV written by Diane Paulsell and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program, authorized by Section 2951 of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-148), will provide $1.5 billion to states over five years to provide comprehensive, evidence-based home visiting services to improve a range of outcomes for families and children residing in at-risk communities (due to high rates of poverty, violence, poor health outcomes, and other factors). To receive the funds, each state must conduct a statewide needs assessment that (1) identifies at-risk communities, (2) assesses the state's capacity to provide substance abuse treatment and counseling, and (3) documents the quality and capacity of existing early childhood home visiting programs as well as gaps in these services. A number of the grantees participating in the Children's Bureau's Supporting Evidence-Based Home Visiting (EBHV) to Prevent Child Maltreatment grantee cluster prepared needs assessments to plan for implementing or expanding grant-related evidence-based home visiting services. This brief provides information about how grantees planned the assessments and collected the data, as well as facilitators and barriers to carrying out the assessments. It also describes lessons identified by grantees.
Download or read book Transforming Early Head Start Home Visiting written by Bridget A. Walsh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on home visiting shows that Early Head Start (EHS) home-based programs benefit from additional training and resources that streamline philosophy and content. In this essential guide, Walsh and Mortensen propose that alignment with Family Life Education’s (FLE) strengths-based methodology results in greater consistency through a model of prevention, education, and collaboration with families. This text is the first to outline linkages between FLE and EHS home visiting. It explores a qualitative study of FLE integrated in a current EHS home-based program and application of FLE methodology to home visiting topics. This approach will influence professional practice and provide a foundation for developing evidence-based home visiting practices. Online content accompanies the text, with videos demonstrating the FLE approach in action and discussion questions to encourage engagement with and understanding of the core material. Transforming Early Head Start Home Visiting: A Family Life Education Approach is essential reading for upper-level undergraduate and masters students in family studies and early childhood education, as well as practitioners working with children and families.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ready To Learn is a home visiting program that uses the Growing Great Kids curriculum to improve child development and parent education of immigrant and refugee families. This study completed a program evaluation to determine the effectiveness of Ready To Learn using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ). Five areas of development were assessed using this evaluation: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving and personal/social. Results found that 36% of children improved from their first ASQ to their most recent ASQ. All together, 78% of children were ready for kindergarten after graduating from the program, which decreases their chance of falling behind their peers. To determine if the difference between the first average ASQ score was significantly different than the most recent average ASQ score, a repeated measures t-test was utilized. The results showed a significant difference, with the most recent ASQ score being significantly higher than the first ASQ score. These findings are similar to previous literature, which found that early intervention programs are effective for low-income, immigrant and refugee families. Thus, other early intervention, home visiting programs should be implemented for immigrant and refugee families to promote learning at a young age and improve chances of academic success later in life.
