Extractions: Program Model Research Trials Program Costs Facilitating Implementation ... Steps to Implementation Program Model Journal of the American Medical Association and other peer reviewed journals. Conceived by Dr. David Olds and his colleagues in the 1970s, the Nurse-Family Partnership sends specially trained nurses on weekly or bi-weekly visits to low-income, first-time mothers starting as early as possible in pregnancy (no later than the 28 th week) and continuing until their children's second birthdays. Under this voluntary program, nurses help mothers improve their health and nutrition during pregnancy, learn effective early parenting skills, and reach goals like completing school and finding employment. The program has visit by visit guidelines that provide for a client-centered approach that uses solution focused techniques with the goal of achieving enduring behavioral changes. The intervention centers around six program domains: personal health, environmental health, life course development, maternal role, family and friends and health and human services. It is the focus on these domains that enables the clients to achieve the program goals: to improve pregnancy outcomes, promote child health and development and impact parental life course development. Back to Top Research Trials Child Outcomes The Nurse-Family Partnership has been carefully tested through ongoing, longitudinal randomized trials in Elmira, New York (begun in 1977), and in Memphis, Tennessee (begun in 1990). A third trial in Denver, Colorado has been concluded; the data is being analyzed; and results will soon be published.

Extractions: Evidence of effectiveness: In multiple clinical trials, FFT achieved significant reductions in the proportion of youths who reoffended (60 percent of treated youths were arrested after the program versus 93 percent of controls in one study and 11 percent versus 67 percent in another) and the frequency of offending up to 2.5 years after participation in the intervention. Diffusion effects on the siblings of target youths have also been observed, with significantly fewer siblings of FFT youths than control youths having juvenile court records 2.5 to 3.5 years after the program.

Extractions: A Vision for the Future Glossary Index List of Tables and Figures Executive Summary ... Back to Reports Page The first, most enduring responsibility of any society is to ensure the health and well-being of its children. It is a responsibility to which multiple programs of the Department of Health and Human Services are dedicated and an arena in which we can claim many remarkable successes in recent years. From new initiatives in child health insurance and Head Start, to innovative approaches to child care, to the investment in medical research that has ameliorated and even eliminated the threat of many once lethal childhood diseases, we have focused directly and constructively on the needs of millions of children. Through programs designed to enhance the strength and resiliency of families and family members across the life span and through our investments in diverse community resources, we are also helping to enhance the lives and enrich the opportunities of millions more of our children. Although we can take rightful pride in our accomplishments on behalf of U.S. youths, we can and must do more. The world remains a threatening, often dangerous place for children and youths. And in our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence.

Extractions: Early Years Are Learning Years Research and Reports Supporting Teachers, Strengthening Families Links to National Organizations Child care and preschool programs have difficulty attracting and keeping good individuals to work with young children. A third of program staff leave the field each year, primarily due to the lack of adequate compensation-low salaries, few benefits, and difficult working conditions. Research has clearly shown that the skill and commitment of the adults in early childhood programs directly affects the quality of care and education given to children. Below are some resources to help advocates and policy makers to improve the compensation of the early childhood workforce, and thus the quality of services for children and families. This area of our web site is a work in progress. Examples of other compensation initiatives and new resources are welcomed and can be sent to pubaff@naeyc.org
