“…Children of women identified as having low psychological resources (i.e., limited intellectual functioning, mental health, and sense of personal control) were found to respond favorably to nurse-delivered home visits at six and 21 months of age (Olds et al, 2002). Greater parental engagement in services has been noted for parents who were considered at risk for parenting difficulties (Daro, McCurdy, Falconnier, & Stojanovic, 2003;McCurdy et al, 2006) than their counterparts. In the present study, CBC employed an individualized, responsive family centered approach to promote engagement similar to that used in other home visitation studies.…”

The present study is a large-scale randomized trial testing the effects of a family-school partnership model (i.e., Conjoint Behavioral Consultation, CBC) for promoting behavioral competence and decreasing problem behaviors of children identified by their teachers as disruptive. CBC is a structured approach to problem solving that involves consultants, parents, and teachers. The effects of CBC on family variables that are commonly associated with important outcomes among school-aged children (i.e., family involvement and parent competence in problem solving), as well as child outcomes at home, were evaluated. Participants were 207 children with disruptive behaviors from 91 classrooms in 21 schools in kindergarten through grade 3 and their parents and teachers. Results indicated that there were significantly different increases in home-school communication and parent competence in problem solving for participants in the CBC relative to control group. Likewise, compared to children in the control group, children in the CBC group showed significantly greater decreases in arguing, defiance, noncompliance, and tantrums. The degree of family risk moderated parents' competence in problem solving and children's total problem behaviors, teasing, and tantrums.

“…The relatively small number of staff of the MOM Program does not allow for examination of specific home visitor characteristics that might be related to maternal involvement, such as race or educational background. 22 Finally, data on the completion of pediatric office visits were collected only on the home-visited mothers because we did not wish to violate the "control" nature of the initial group assignment and draw more attention to visit completion among those in the control group. Although not qualifying for Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting funding as one of its "evidence-based" models, 6 a replication of the MOM Program is underway in other areas with high rates of poverty in Philadelphia through the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Health and Economic Opportunity, directed by one of the study authors (DFS).…”

The MOM Program: Home Visiting in Partnership With Pediatric Care

OBJECTIVE: Home visiting programs aim to improve child health, reduce developmental risks, and enhance use of community resources. How these programs can work in collaboration with pediatric practice has been understudied. The MOM Program was a randomized controlled trial of an innovative home visiting program to serve urban, low-income children. Program aims included promoting child health through regular pediatric visits and enhancing school readiness through developmental screenings and referrals to early intervention. The objective of this report was to describe the partnership with the pediatric community and selected program results. METHODS: A total of 302 mothers were enrolled in the program at the time of children’s birth. Eligible infants were full-term, without identified neurologic/genetic disorder or ICU intervention, and from high-poverty zip codes. A total of 152 were randomized to the home visiting program, with 9 visits over 3 years, scheduled before well-child visits; 150 were randomized to the control condition with no home visits. Medical records and case notes provided information on pediatric appointments kept and program outcomes. RESULTS: Eighty-nine percent of both groups were retained throughout the 3-year program; 86% of the home-visited group received at least 7 of the 9 planned home visits. Home-visited mothers were >10 times as likely to keep pediatric appointments, compared with those not visited. Barriers to service access were varied, and theory-driven approaches were taken to address these. CONCLUSIONS: Home visiting programs can provide important partnerships with pediatric health care providers. Integrating home visiting services with pediatric care can enhance child health, and this subject warrants expansion.

“…Behavioral problems such as aggressiveness or withdrawal were the primary reasons for these referrals, and professionals were particularly concerned not to be seen to be giving purely curative/ medical answers to symptoms with multiple etiologies, including not only psychological and intrafamilial elements, but also social and environmental determinants. Brought together in an international conference (1), these professionals, in association with local research teams, chose to tackle this problem by assessing the effectiveness of a home-visiting program aiming at promoting mental health, in line with best practices described in the international literature (2)(3)(4)(5).…”

Abstract:Although France has one of the most generous health and social care systems for infant and maternal well-being in the Western world, professionals have been increasingly concerned by the rising number of children being referred for mental health problems. The present article describes the first homevisiting program in France to specifically target mental health questions in families living in vulnerable contexts. The CAPEDP project, involving 440 women and their families, took place in Paris and its inner suburbs from 2006 to 2011. To be eligible for inclusion, women had to be (i) under 26 years old, (ii) less that 27 weeks pregnant, (iii) sufficiently fluent in French to give truly informed consent to participate in the study and benefit from the intervention and (iv) presenting with one or more of the following social vulnerability factors: low income, low educational level, and/or intending to bring up the child without the child's father. The intervention consisted of 44 home visits from the third trimester of pregnancy through to the child's second birthday. The aim of the intervention was to promote infant mental health and reduce the incidence of infant mental health problems at the age of two years. The intervention paid particular attention to postnatal maternal depression and promoting parenting skills and attachment security, particularly through the use of video during home-visits.
