Nurse-Family Partnership: Taking Science to Practice Nationwide

Mini-Plenary IV

The Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP), an evidenced-based voluntary prevention program, provides nurse home visitation services to low-income, first-time mothers beginning early in pregnancy and continuing through the child's second year. This session provides an overview of the research history and replication efforts on the part of the Nurse-Family Partnership. Multi-site randomized controlled trials over a 25-year period have proven statistically that NFP mothers and their children fare significantly better than the control groups. Findings include a 48 percent reduction in child abuse and neglect. Presenters address questions regarding the challenges and realities of taking science to the practice setting in local communities.
