Can a Nurse's visit stop premature births and keep kids safe?
NCT ID NCT03360539
Summary
This study is testing whether a free, long-term home visiting program from nurses helps low-income, first-time mothers have healthier pregnancies and safer children. It enrolled 6,000 eligible pregnant women in South Carolina, with two-thirds receiving the nurse visits and one-third receiving standard care. Researchers are using health records to see if the program prevents problems like premature birth, childhood injuries, and short spacing between pregnancies.
