Effectiveness
Evidence of model effectiveness
| Title | General population | Tribal population | Domains with favorable effects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Even Start-Home Visiting (Birth to Age 5) | Does not meet HHS criteria because there are no high- or moderate-rated effectiveness studies of the model. | Does not meet HHS criteria for tribal population because the model has not been evaluated with a tribal population. |

Model description
Even Start was a federal initiative that offered grants to support local family literacy projects that integrated early childhood education, adult literacy, parenting education, and interactive parent and child literacy activities. The model targeted low-income parents with children from birth through age 7 and parents who were eligible for services under the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act. Even Start programs identified and recruited families most in need of services as indicated by a low level of income, a low level of adult literacy or English language proficiency of the eligible parent or parents, and other need-related indicators. Even Start did not define required model components, but most sites delivered services through a combination of center-based programs, parent groups, and home visits. For the purpose of the HomVEE review, only studies of sites that used home visiting as the primary service delivery method and that included families with children from birth to age 5 were included.
Extent of evidence
For more information, see the research database. For more information on the criteria used to rate research, please see details of HomVEE’s methods and standards.
Summary of findings
When a model has no manuscripts that report high- or moderate-rated findings, HomVEE does not report research findings.
Implementation
HomVEE only publishes detailed model implementation profiles for reviewed models that have well-designed research (high- or moderate-quality rating) according to HomVEE’s published procedures and standards.
