This study evaluates the Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) program in Norway, aimed at reducing child abuse and social inequality among first-time mothers. It involves a randomized controlled trial with 700 participants, where half will receive NFP services and the other half will receive standard care. The primary focus is on assessing violence towards mothers and their children through questionnaires and observation tests at various stages of the child's development. Additionally, the study will analyze health-related outcomes and conduct cost-effectiveness evaluations to improve service delivery.
