Understanding how to maintain effective home visiting programs for new parents
Examining the role of implementation strategies in sustaining evidence-based interventions in home visiting
This study is looking at how to keep helpful programs, like the 'Mothers and Babies' program that helps prevent depression during and after pregnancy, running strong in home visiting services for new and expecting parents in New Mexico and Rhode Island, by talking to everyone involved to see what works best.

What this research studies
This research investigates how to effectively sustain evidence-based interventions (EBIs) in home visiting programs that support pregnant and parenting individuals. It focuses on the 'Mothers and Babies' program, which aims to prevent perinatal depression. The study will collect data from home visiting programs in New Mexico and Rhode Island to assess how well these programs maintain their effectiveness over time. Additionally, it will gather insights from program managers, staff, and clients to understand the factors that contribute to successful implementation and sustainment of these interventions.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are pregnant individuals and new parents participating in home visiting programs.
Not a fit: Patients who are not involved in home visiting programs or who are not pregnant or new parents may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved long-term support for new parents, reducing the risk of perinatal depression.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that effective implementation strategies can enhance the sustainability of evidence-based interventions, suggesting that this approach has potential for success.
