This study included participants from the following locations:
- Arizona
Study Participants
- Eligible families included a primary caregiver and their youngest child, who was between birth and 48 months old. The study did not include families who were expecting a child, foster families, families living on tribal lands, or families whose youngest child had a developmental disability.
- The research team randomly assigned 767 families to one of two groups: 509 to the PAT home visiting intervention group and 258 to the comparison group.
- Of the 767 families, 414 had a primary caregiver who identified as Hispanic. This review reports findings for this Hispanic subgroup.
- Outcomes were measured six months after families enrolled in the study.
Setting
The study took place at four PAT affiliates serving metropolitan or urban areas in Arizona. The manuscript did not identify the specific affiliates or cities.

Funding Sources
The study was funded by Parents As Teachers National Center, the Enterprise Holdings Foundation, and Arizona’s First Things First.

Notes from the review of this manuscript
All findings for the full study sample received a low rating because the study had high attrition and did not show that the intervention and comparison groups were similar at baseline in race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. The manuscript also reported two findings for a subgroup of Hispanic families. Because these subgroup findings had low attrition, they are reported here. Information reported on this page is describing the study rating and findings only for this subgroup. HomVEE obtained additional information needed to review the manuscript through correspondence with the authors.
