NCT00708695

Brief Summary

This study is a longitudinal follow-up of 670 primarily African-American women and their 17-year-old firstborn children enrolled since 1990 in a highly significant randomized controlled trial (RCT) of prenatal and infancy home visiting by nurses. Nurses in this program are charged with improving pregnancy outcomes, child health and development, and maternal economic self-sufficiency. This follow-up examines whether earlier program effects on maternal and child functioning lead to less violent antisocial behavior, psychopathology, substance use and use-disorders, and risk for HIV; whether these effects are greater for those at both genetic and environmental risk; and whether program effects replicate those found with whites in an earlier trial.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Maternal life-course (reflected in reduced total public benefit expenditures for SNAP, AFDC/TANF, and Medicaid).

    Public benefit expenditures estimated from review of state administrative records and maternal report of all children's birth dates. Program effects on public-benefit expenditures hypothesized to be especially pronounced for mothers with higher psychological resources.

    through first child age 18

  • Cognitive, language, and academic functioning among first-born children.

    Direct tests of youth cognitive, language, and academic functioning. Program effects in this domain hypothesized to be most pronounced for children born to mothers with low psychological resources.

    at youth age 18

  • Youth depression and anxiety

    Measure of internalizing disorders based upon youth self-report.

    at youth age 18

  • Youth gang membership, arrests, convictions, and self-reported antisocial behavior, especially for crimes involving interpersonal violence.

    Self-reported involvement with criminal justice system and antisocial behavior. Program effects on arrests and convictions hypothesized to be greater for females.

    at youth age 18

  • Youth risk for HIV infection, pregnancies, births, use of substances, and SUDs.

    Outcomes based upon self-report and urine assays for STI's and substance use.

    at youth age 18.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Reduced maternal substance use disorders (SUDs) and depression.

    at youth age 18

  • Improved child executive cognitive functioning, and rates of high school graduation.

    at youth age 18

Other Outcomes (3)

  • Cumulative subsequent pregnancies - mothers

    through youth age 18

  • Pregnancies - youth

    through youth age 18

  • Relationship with Current Partner

    at youth age 18

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Very low-income African-Americans living in a major urban area. In this trial, 1,138 low-income pregnant women (98% unmarried, 67% \<19 years old, 92% African-American) were randomly assigned to experimental or comparison services; 742 were followed after delivery. The sample resided in extraordinarily stressful neighborhoods and endured extreme poverty. At registration, 85% of the sample had incomes below the federal poverty guidelines.

You may qualify if:

  • Women who were enrolled in the New Mothers Study and their children as described in Study Population Description.

You may not qualify if:

  • Women who were not enrolled in the New Mothers Study and their children as described in the Study Population Description.
