David Olds developed nurse home visiting as an intervention for poor, first-time mothers. As demonstrated by three randomized trials in Elmira, Memphis, and Denver, the Nurse-Family Partnership became the basis for significant federal funding under the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program. The transition from pilot program to federal legislation included tiered funding, by which programs demonstrated by Randomized Controlled Trials were prioritized over those with less empirical support.

Family Partnership

Nurse-Family Partnership is a targeted public health intervention program designed to improve child and maternal health through nurse home visiting. In the context of a process evaluation, we posed the question: “In what ways do Canadian public health nurses explain their experiences with delivering this program across different geographical environments?” The qualitative methodology of interpretive description guided study decisions and data were collected through 10 focus groups with 50 nurses conducted over 2 years. We applied an intersectionality lens to explore the influence of all types of geography on the delivery of Nurse-Family Partnership. The findings from our analysis suggest that the nature of clients’ place and their associated social and physical geography emphasizes inadequacies of organizational and support structures that create health inequities for clients. Geography had a significant impact on program delivery for clients who were living with multiple forms of oppression and it worked to reinforce disadvantage.

Early Childhood Home Visiting

Early home visiting is a vital health promotion strategy that is widely associated with positive outcomes for vulnerable families. To expand access to these services, the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program was established under the Affordable Care Act, and over $2 billion have been distributed from the Health Resources and Services Administration to states, territories, and tribal entities to support funding for early home visiting programs serving pregnant women and families with young children (birth to 5 years of age). As of October 2018, 20 programs met Department of Health and Human Services criteria for evidence of effectiveness and were approved to receive MIECHV funding. However, the same few eligible programs receive MIECHV funding in almost all states, likely due to previously established infrastructure prior to establishment of the MIECHV program. Fully capitalizing on this federal investment will require all state policymakers and bureaucrats to reevaluate services currently offered and systematically and transparently develop a menu of home visiting services that will best match the specific needs of the vulnerable families in their communities. Federal incentives and strategies may also improve states' abilities to successfully implement a comprehensive and diverse menu of home visiting service options. By offering a menu of home visiting program models with varying levels of service delivery, home visitor education backgrounds, and targeted domains for improvement, state agencies serving children and families have an opportunity to expand their reach of services, improve cost-effectiveness, and promote optimal outcomes for vulnerable families. Nurses and nursing organizations can play a key role in advocating for this approach.
