Frequently Asked Questions

HomVEE lists the subgroups examined in each high- or moderate-rated manuscript reported on the HomVEE website. However, HomVEE only reports detailed subgroup findings when the subgroup is replicated, meaning that HomVEE has reviewed at least two well-designed studies that analyzed research about a sample with the subgroup characteristic. The Handbook of Procedures and Evidence Standards provides additional information about HomVEE procedures for subgroup research.

HomVEE’s website provides several resources for users that wish to know more about the characteristics of the research samples in a home visiting model’s evidence base. For more information, see FAQ “What information is available on the study samples in HomVEE's research database?”

HomVEE’s website provides several resources for users that wish to know more about the characteristics of the research samples in a home visiting model’s evidence base.

Information about individual study manuscripts: HomVEE records and displays information about study settings and participant characteristics for all manuscripts that receive a moderate or high rating. That information is available in the Manuscript Search page for individual manuscripts under the heading Study Participant Characteristics.

Information about a home visiting model: Users can find individual model pages by selecting Search for Models on the home page under the Models drop-down menu or by using the quick search under “Get Started” on the home page. Study settings and participant characteristics are available on a model’s home page under the heading Research Characteristics. These characteristics describe research participants across manuscripts that received a rating of moderate or high.

HomVEE reports data describing the race and ethnicity of participants in home visiting research in accordance with federal standards. The standards allow for participants in research to select multiple race and ethnicity categories (for example, selecting both White and Hispanic) and for manuscript authors to report that information in a way that may sum to greater than 100 percent.

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.
