Notes
In 2020, HomVEE updated this review to move measures of physical punishment from the Reductions in Child Maltreatment domain to the Positive Parenting Practices domain because ACF determined that nonviolent discipline and corporal punishment outcomes belong in the Positive Parenting Practices domain, unless those outcome are assessed using the Conflict Tactics Scale-Parent/Child.
Study Participants
Study participants were mothers and children recruited to one local program as part of a national evaluation. The total study sample included approximately 160 low-income families (exact number depended on outcome and timing of data collection; the research sample averaged $10,000 or less annual income for a two-adult, two-child family). A quarter of mothers were teenagers, a third had not completed high school, and more than a quarter were Latina.
Setting
Not provided
Home Visiting Services
One Early Head Start program participated in the study. That program offered enrolled families weekly home visits lasting approximately 90 minutes. Home visitors spent at least three-quarters of each visit facilitating mother-child interactions through planned activities to promote early child development. During the remainder of the visit, the home visitor provided information about early child development and ideas for activities for child leaning and for nonpunitive discipline.
