Notes from the review of this manuscript
In 2020, HomVEE updated this review to remove three mother's partnership status/family structure findings from the Family Economic Self-Sufficiency domain because ACF determined that mother's partnership status is ineligible for review by HomVEE.

Study Participants
The authors recruited women from the obstetric and pediatric care public system. A total of 743 pregnant women were enrolled and randomly assigned to treatment (228 women) or comparison (515 women). At the study’s onset, 92 percent of women in the sample were African American, 98.1 percent were unmarried, 64.1 percent were younger than 19 years, and 85 percent were living in households with incomes below the federal poverty threshold. For the 12-year follow-up, 594 women were interviewed. This sample is the same as that described in Kitzman et al. (2010) and reports on different outcomes from those described in that study.
Setting
Memphis, TN
