Model description

Implemented in Australia, Mothers’ Advocates in the Community (MOSAIC) aimed to reduce intimate partner violence (IPV) and depression and improve mothers’ health, well-being, and attachment to their children. It targeted women who were pregnant or had a child age 5 or younger and reported experiencing IPV or psychosocial distress. The program included 12 months of weekly home visits and regular telephone calls with nonprofessional peer mothers, known as mentor mothers. Mentor mothers provided safety and self-care strategies, parenting support, and information and referrals for community resources (including family violence services).

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.

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.
