Frequently Asked Questions

Tribal MIECHV grant recipients may select home visiting models that are either evidence-based among Tribal populations (as determined by HomVEE) or that qualify as a promising approach. Currently, models on HomVEE’s website qualify as either evidence-based or a promising approach and are therefore eligible for Tribal MIECHV funding. Model selection is designed to be driven by the needs of a particular community, as determined by a community needs and readiness assessment. For additional information about the Tribal MIECHV Program, see the ACF website.

Yes. In addition to the main HomVEE review, HomVEE periodically updates a review of models that were implemented with Indigenous communities or included substantial proportions of Indigenous peoples (such as American Indian and Alaska Native families) in the study samples. The results of this review are presented in a report that can be accessed on the Home visiting resources for Indigenous peoples and communities page.

A list of models reviewed by HomVEE is available on the Model Search page. Users can find a list of models that includes those that did not meet the HHS criteria by selecting "clear all". This removes the filters and displays a complete list of all models HomVEE has reviewed. The information is also available in the summary brief, available on the HomVEE Summary page.

Information on implementation of models with manuscripts about high- and moderate-quality impact studies is available in the implementation profiles. The implementation profiles give an overview of the model and information about developers’ input on the following: theoretical approach, implementation support availability, intended population, targeted outcomes, model services, requirements, and model contact information. These profiles can be accessed on the Model Search page. Model Search page.

Model developers may contact HomVEE at any time to update contact information on the website. Please see our Contact Us page to provide updated contact details. HomVEE will publish these updates within a reasonably short timeframe, rather than waiting for the next full HomVEE review of the model.

No. HomVEE does not have consistent information about research underway on home visiting models. HomVEE users who are seeking information about research in progress on specific models should contact the model developer directly.
