This brief summarizes the latest updates and describes the HomVEE review process and results. It lists the 27 models determined to meet criteria from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for an “evidence-based early childhood home visiting service delivery model.”
HomVEE Summary |
The revised HomVEE handbook (version 2.2) updates procedures related to reviewing virtual home visiting research, as well as updates to clarify HomVEE’s definition of subgroups, limit the eligibility of certain findings for review, and strengthen standards for validity.

This updated prioritization brief describes how HomVEE determines which models to review. It provides hypothetical examples to illustrate the prioritization process. The update reflects changes introduced in HomVEE’s Version 2.2 handbook.

HomVEE has revised several of the evidence review’s procedures and standards. These revisions were released in the Handbook of the Procedures and Evidence Standards, Version 2.2, which was published in April 2024. To inform this update, HomVEE solicited public comment through its website and mailing list in summer 2023. This new brief summarizes how HomVEE addressed key comments from the public in the final version of the handbook.

HomVEE systematically reviews the research on early childhood home visiting models that serve families with pregnant people and children from birth to kindergarten. The review determines which models have enough rigorous evidence to be considered evidence-based according to criteria defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This two-page fact sheet answers basic questions about HomVEE.
HomVEE Summary |
A portion of the federal funds that support home visiting for pregnant people and families with young children are designated specifically for supporting home visiting in tribal communities. Therefore, policymakers and program administrators need to know what research has learned about home visiting in these communities. To assess the evidence of effectiveness of models that have been implemented in tribal communities, HomVEE conducted a targeted systematic review. The review included studies of early childhood home visiting models implemented in tribal communities. This report describes the review process and findings, descriptive information about the models evaluated, and summary conclusions about effectiveness. The appendices provide details about each model, including effectiveness if the model was evaluated in well-designed effectiveness studies. The review was originally released in February 2011; the updated version includes results from research published through September 2021.

This brief was developed following responses to the Federal Register notice about HomVEE’s approach to reviewing single-case design (SCD) research (available on this page). The brief is intended to provide general information about what an SCD is and how SCDs can be used to conduct rigorous research. It defines an SCD, illustrates common types of designs, and details the benefits and drawbacks of conducting SCD research.

The revised HomVEE Handbook (Version 2.1) has been updated to reflect how the HomVEE review applies standards and criteria from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to single-case design (SCD) research in the home visiting field. Revisions are primarily found in Appendix D: Standards and Reporting Procedures for Single-Case Design Research.
Methods & Standards |
This Federal Register notice, published in 2021, details clarifications and changes HomVEE proposed to make to procedures and standards related to single-case design research. The final clarifications and changes that HomVEE adopted are available in the Version 2.1 Handbook of Procedures and Standards elsewhere on this site.
