Study: National Nurse Home Visiting Program Reduces Preventable Deaths Among First-Time Mothers, Infants
A 20-year study finds that a national nurse home visiting program aimed at helping low-income, first-time mothers have healthier pregnancies significantly reduced preventable deaths among mothers and their newborns. The program, called Nurse-Family Partnership, currently serves 21 counties in California and pairs eligible women with a registered nurse who makes home visitations throughout the pregnancy and for two years following the birth.
