HomVEE’s Updated Approach to Model Adaptations and Enhancements
This brief describes HomVEE’s updated approach to model adaptations and enhancements, including definitions of key terms, the general approach to applying the definitions, and exceptions to that approach.
Priority Resource | June 2025
Methods and Standards
The revised HomVEE handbook (version 2.3) updates how HomVEE defines and handles model adaptations and enhancements, the difference between unfavorable and ambiguous findings, differences in how HomVEE handles research on models that are already evidence based versus those that are not yet evidence based, and changes to HomVEE’s reliability standard.

HomVEE Updated Reporting Guide for Study Authors
The author reporting guide, which has been updated from the 2016 version, provides evaluators guidance about how to describe randomized controlled trials and matched comparison group design studies, and report their findings clearly so that systematic reviews can use their results. Reporting the information described in this guide is considered a best practice in general, and the information can help HomVEE reviewers assess the appropriate rating to assign to the study. The latest update clearly identifies the information that HomVEE seeks from evaluators, which will help the project assign prioritization points that determine which early childhood home visiting models are reviewed.

Single-Case Design Research Methods
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.
