“…The most promising impact of two or less nursing encounters has been its influence on client's use of other health care services (Bradley & Martin, 1994; Ghilarducci & McCool, 1993; Oda & Boyd, 1988; Zotti & Zahner, 1995). Other researchers have found no significant difference in health outcomes between control groups and clients who received one or two nursing contacts (Barkauskas, 1983; Oda, Heilbron, & Taylor, 1995; Stanwick, Moffat, Robitalle, Edmond, & Dok, 1982). Byrd (1997) described the customary single postpartum home visit as primarily a screening activity in which the PHN provides as much health and referral information as possible.…”

Over the past decade, a body of qualitative research has been developed which describes the home visiting practice of public health nurses (PHNs) to maternal-child clients. This article reports a synthesis of these studies. The purpose of the synthesis was to identify common elements and differences between the research reports that would lead to theory development or support of existing theories. Methods were based on Miles and Huberman's (1994) text on qualitative data analysis. Results of the synthesis indicated that building and preserving relationships with the client is the central focus of home visiting and provides a foundation for problem identification and problem solving. Clients control access to their homes as well as the information they are willing to share with the nurse. The goals of home visiting relate to empowering mothers, supporting their independence and decision making. Similarities to Peplau's theory of Interpersonal Relations and Cox's Interaction Model of Client Health Behavior (IMCHB) are noted.

“…As clinicians we might have anticipated that the physical presence and educational and supportive input from a home visitor alone was unlikely to benefit these disadvantaged mothers in the long term. Two large ( and 1654) randomized controlled trials with n ϭ 2235 high-risk families demonstrated that home visitations with social support and education only had no discernable advantage for these mothers or their infants (Oda, Heilbron, & Taylor, 1995;Villar et al, 1992).…”

The main advantage of being asked to present a plenary address at a Congress (other than the obvious honor) is not having to submit an abstract. This is just as well, because had I submitted one, I have no doubt that my esteemed colleagues, Drs. de Cha ˆteau and Guedeney, the Cochairs of the Program Committee, would have rejected it, and appropriately so. This is because in this presentation I have decided to focus the evaluator's microscope not on early interventions

To increase the participation of Medicaid children in the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) program and to improve their health, Congress included several provisions in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 (OBRA’89) that addressed problematic program features. The impact of these provisions on children's health service use was investigated in a study funded by the Health Care Financing Administration. After conducting site visits to four states, the authors analyzed claims data for the children residing there and found evidence that, in 1992, these states placed a higher priority on improving the effectiveness of EPSDT than they did before 1989. The states’ efforts to expand the EPSDT provider base and to enhance outreach and service provision were either directly or indirectly inspired by OBRA’89. The authors also found evidence of a significant impact on provider participation and caseloads and on children’s use of both preventive care and diagnostic and treatment services. However, the effects were modest in comparison to the size of the progress that is required.
