Various states and communities, including several MIHOPE sites, are using a centralized approach to intake and assessment to refer families to home visiting services.
MIHOPE’s companion study, the Mother and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation – Strong Start (MIHOPE-Strong Start), is now recruiting sites. MIHOPE-Strong Start aims to determine whether home visiting programs improve birth- and health-related outcomes in children’s first year.
Listen to MIHOPE-Strong Start team lead Dina Israel explain the relationship between two large-scale national home visiting studies: MIHOPE and MIHOPE-Strong Start.
