Minding the Baby<sup>&reg</sup> Model Intensity and Length

The intervention lasts about 27 months, beginning in the second or early third trimester of pregnancy and continuing until the child’s second birthday. During pregnancy, MTB-HV’s goal is to deliver at least 8 to 10 weekly visits, although there are sometimes fewer depending on when a mother enrolls and delivers. Home visits take place weekly during the child’s first year and transition to every other week during the second year. Visits vary in length, but average 45 to 90 minutes.
