Nurse visits for moms with kids: a small trial that ended early
NCT ID NCT05887115
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether a program called Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) could help pregnant women who already had a child. The program involved regular visits from a nurse to support the mother's health, pregnancy, and child development. The trial enrolled 23 women and aimed to measure outcomes like pregnancy complications, tobacco use, and child language skills. However, the study was terminated early, so the results are limited and not conclusive.
