Brief Summary

Northwell Health Visits (NHV) is a three year pilot replication of the evidence-based model, Family Connects, which is a brief universal Nurse Practitioner home visiting program for new mothers and their infants. We seek to compare outcomes among mothers and infants enrolled in the NHV enhanced intervention arm, those enrolled in the NHV screening-only arm, and those in the control arm. NHV will follow a three- armed randomized control trial design.

Interventions

Participants randomized to the Enhanced Intervention group will receive the Family Connects program, an evidence- based structure that begins at the birthing hospital stay, followed by 1 to 3 nurse home visits between 4 to 12 weeks of infant age, a follow-up contact one month later and a discharge home visit six months later and a final follow-up contact one month after that. During the home visits, the nurse engages with the mother and completes a holistic health and psychosocial assessment, during which the unique risks and family needs across 12 family domains are evaluated and addressed with either referrals with matched community resources or thorough education. In addition, they will be given a set of six developmental toys.

Enhanced Intervention

Participants randomized to the Intervention group will receive the Family Connects program, an evidence- based structure that begins at the birthing hospital stay, followed by 1 to 3 nurse home visits between 4 to 12 weeks of infant age, a follow-up contact one month later and a discharge home visit six months later and a final follow-up contact one month after that. During the home visits, the nurse engages with the mother and completes a holistic health and psychosocial assessment, during which the unique risks and family needs across 12 family domains are evaluated. For each screened domain, the nurse is able to systematically address them, which may result in an immediate intervention; either referrals with matched community resources or thorough education.
