Prevention of Childhood Maltreatment in Families With Young Children
July 30, 2023 updated by: Bradley Hospital
Embedding Mental Health Consultation Within Prenatal Home Visiting to Prevent Child Maltreatment and Violence Exposure
This study will examine the efficacy of Enhanced First Connections, which is a short-term perinatal home visiting program that includes infant and early childhood mental health consultation.
Mothers with a history of adversity or trauma will be the focus of this research.
Hypothesized outcomes of Enhanced First Connections include the prevention of child maltreatment (child abuse and neglect), prevention of child exposure to adult intimate partner violence, increases in family engagement in longer-term evidence based home visiting programs, increases in family engagement in specialized support services to address maternal adversity and trauma, reductions in maternal risk factors, and the promotion of positive parenting and the parent-child relationship.

Experimental: Enhanced First Connections
Enhanced First Connections is a short-term risk assessment and response home visiting referral program.
The goal of Enhanced First Connections is to identify family needs and link families to community resources, including evidence based home visiting models.
