Notes from the review of this manuscript

HomVEE reports results for interventions delivered to families with children from birth to kindergarten entry. Given that the FCU intervention continued to be delivered to families at the time of later assessment, child and parent outcomes reported within this study that were assessed after children were age 5 were excluded from review.This study is part of a large RCT described by Dishion et al. (2008).
