Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The investigators will assess the effect of NFP on a range of short- and long-run maternal and child outcomes using administrative data that will be available for all members of both treatment and control groups. Several of the outcomes the investigators will evaluate are required as part of the Medicaid waiver and pay-for-success financing model.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Treatment-NFP
NFP is a prenatal and infancy home visiting program for low-income, first-time mothers and their families. Registered nurses begin visiting their clients as early in the pregnancy as possible, helping the mother-to-be make informed choices. The nurses continue visiting regularly until the child is two years old.
Nurse-Family Partnership
Control
Control group members have access to the standard of care and whatever other programs and services are available in the community.
