This manuscript describes two studies: a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and a non-experimental comparison group design (NED). This review addresses the findings of the NED. The review of the RCT is addressed under Lind et al. (2021; Study 1).
This study received an indeterminate rating because HomVEE reviewers could not determine—based on the available information—whether the intervention and comparison groups were equivalent at baseline on race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and pre-intervention outcome measures, prior to the home visiting intervention being provided.
