"Home visiting for families with young children is a longstanding strategy offering information, guidance, risk assessment, and parenting support interventions at home. The typical “home visiting program” is designed to improve some combination of pregnancy outcomes, parenting skills and early childhood health and development, particularly for families at higher social risk.
This report is designed to help inform the field about two central questions related to home visiting:
- Are states investing in home visiting in ways that promote improved outcomes for young children?
- How, in this context, do they meet the needs of those facing the greatest social and developmental risks?
The report describes the results of an NCCP survey and a roundtable discussion, each designed to increase knowledge about state-based home visiting programs, that is, those administered, managed, or coordinated by state governments."
