Brief Description:(The information in this program outline is provided by the program representative and edited by the CEBC staff.)
Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) has been rated by the CEBC in the area of Home Visiting. The Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) program provides home visits by registered nurses to first-time, low-income mothers, beginning during pregnancy and continuing through the child’s second birthday. The program has three primary goals: (1) to improve pregnancy outcomes by promoting health-related behaviors; (2) to improve child health, development and safety by promoting competent care-giving; and (3) to enhance parent life-course development by promoting pregnancy planning, educational achievement, and employment. The program also has two secondary goals: to enhance families’ material support by providing links with needed health and social services, and to promote supportive relationships among family and friends. Since NFP is highly rated on the Scientific Rating Scale, information on available pre-implementation assessments, implementation tools, and fidelity measures was requested from the program representative. Please see the program's separate Implementation Information page for details.
