Model description

The First Born® Program offers universal home visiting services to all families. Services begin prenatally or within two months of birth and continue until the child is age 36 months. The model is designed to promote child development and school readiness; reduce rates of child abuse and neglect and domestic violence; and improve maternal and child health and family economic self-sufficiency. Home visitors meet with families multiple times per month to provide coaching and support, screening and assessment, and service coordination. The First Born Core Curriculum guides the visits and provides information about early childhood development, health, nutrition, and safety.

Note: When an individual manuscript reports findings from multiple studies, HomVEE reviews each study as a distinct manuscript. In these rare instances, HomVEE counts that manuscript multiple times in this table, once for each study identified, screened, and reviewed by HomVEE.

Summary of findings

When a model has no manuscripts that report high- or moderate-rated findings, HomVEE does not report research findings.
