Nurse-Family Partnership
NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP IS A COMMUNITY BASED HEALTH PROGRAM THAT STRIVES TO SUCCESSFULLY CHANGE THEIR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF THEIR CHILDREN THROUGH EVIDENCE-BASED NURSE HOME VISITING. EVERY YEAR, APPROXIMATELY 700,000 CHILDREN ARE BORN TO LOW-INCOME FIRST-TIME MOTHERS IN THE U.S. WHO ARE AT THE GREATEST RISK OF SUFFERING HEALTH, EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC DISPARITIES. BY OFFERING SUPPORT TO THIS POPULATION, NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP HELPS PREGNANT WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES TO IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY. EACH MOTHER IN OUR PROGRAM IS PARTNERED WITH A REGISTERED NURSE EARLY IN HER PREGNANCY AND RECEIVES ONGOING NURSE HOME VISITS THROUGH HER CHILD'S SECOND BIRTHDAY. THE PROGRAM'S THREE MAIN GOALS ARE TO 1) IMPROVE PREGNANCY OUTCOMES, 2) IMPROVE CHILD HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT, AND 3) IMPROVE THE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY OF THE FAMILY. THREE RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS OVER FORTY-FIVE YEARS, AND CONTINUING LONGITUDINAL FOLLOW-UP STUDIES HAVE CONFIRMED THE PROGRAM'S EFFECTIVENESS. THESE TRIAL OUTCOMES DEMONSTRATE THAT NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP DELIVERS AGAINST ITS THREE PRIMARY GOALS - MAKING MEASURABLE IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF CHILDREN, FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THEY LIVE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE FOLLOWING OUTCOMES HAVE BEEN OBSERVED AMONG PARTICIPANTS IN AT LEAST ONE OF THE TRIALS OF THE PROGRAM: 48% REDUCTION IN CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT; 56% REDUCTION IN EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS FOR ACCIDENTS AND POISONINGS; 59% REDUCTION IN ARREST AT CHILD AGE 15; 67% REDUCTION IN BEHAVIORAL AND INTELLECTUAL PROBLEMS AT CHILD AGE 6; AND 72% FEWER CONVICTIONS OF MOTHERS AT CHILD AGE 15. THE NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP NATIONAL SERVICE OFFICE (NSO) IS A 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES LEADERSHIP, EDUCATION AND EXPERTISE TO IMPLEMENT AND SUSTAIN THE NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM NATIONWIDE.
