“…However, in all likelihood, the long-term financial savings to the community are substantial, as is the reduction of human suffering. 7,39 Cost savings in these instances will accrue to a variety of educational and social programs that are usually government funded. For these reasons, mechanisms for funding home visiting may be more appropriate from sources other than traditional third-party health care insurance.…”

Child health and developmental outcomes depend to a large extent on the capabilities of families to provide a nurturing, safe environment for their infants and young children. Unfortunately, many families have insufficient knowledge about parenting skills and an inadequate support system of friends, extended family, or professionals to help with or advise them regarding child rearing. Home-visiting programs offer a mechanism for ensuring that at-risk families have social support, linkage with public and private community services, and ongoing health, developmental, and safety education. When these services are part of a system of high-quality well-child care linked or integrated with the pediatric medical home, they have the potential to mitigate health and developmental outcome disparities. This statement reviews the history of home visiting in the United States and reaffirms the support of the American Academy of Pediatrics for home-based parenting education and support.

“…3,4 Given the well-documented adverse effects of IPV on both mother and child, home visiting (HV) programs have been regarded as a particularly salient strategy for high-risk families who may have difficulty engaging in other services. [5][6][7] Indeed, the creation of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV) marked an unprecedented fiscal commitment to HV programs designed to serve at-risk children and families. A fundamental MIECHV benchmark is appropriate screening, referrals, and safety planning for families identified for the presence of IPV.…”

OBJECTIVES: Intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy affects 0.9% to 17% of women and affects maternal health significantly. The impact of IPV extends to the health of children, including an increased risk of complications during pregnancy and the neonatal period, mental health problems, and cognitive delays. Despite substantial sequelae, there is limited research substantiating best practices for engaging and retaining high-risk families in perinatal home visiting (HV) programs, which have been shown to improve infant development and reduce maltreatment. METHODS:The Domestic Violence Enhanced Home Visitation Program (DOVE) is a multistate longitudinal study testing the effectiveness of a structured IPV intervention integrated into health department perinatal HV programs. The DOVE intervention, based on an empowerment model, combined 2 evidence-based interventions: a 10-minute brochurebased IPV intervention and nurse home visitation.RESULTS: Across all sites, 689 referrals were received from participating health departments. A total of 339 abused pregnant women were eligible for randomization; 42 women refused, and 239 women were randomly assigned (124 DOVE; 115 usual care), resulting in a 71% recruitment rate. Retention rates from baseline included 93% at delivery, 80% at 3 months, 76% at 6 months, and 72% at 12 months. CONCLUSIONS:Challenges for HV programs include identifying and retaining abused pregnant women in their programs. DOVE strategies for engaging and retaining abused pregnant women should be integrated into HV programs' federal government mandates for the appropriate identification and intervention of women and children exposed to IPV.

“…Saerligt de ekstra hjemmebesøg beskriver sundhedsplejerskerne som effektive: Effektiviteten af hjemmebesøg har laenge vaeret den internationale forsknings interessefelt, hvori hovedparten stiller sig kritisk overfor, hvorvidt besøgene har den ønskede effekt overfor de allermest udsatte familier (Peacock et al, 2013). Duggan et al (2007) stiller spørgsmålstegn ved effektiviteten af hjemmebesøg, når disse udføres i de allermest udsatte familier, og Olds et al (1995) fremhaever en positiv betydning, saerligt hvis hjemmebesøgene ivaerksaettes praenatalt.…”
