Summary
This study follows 343 families in New Mexico to see if a three-year home visiting program for first-time parents improves child development, parenting, and reduces child abuse and delinquency. Families are randomly assigned to receive the program or not, and researchers will track them until the child turns 19. The goal is to understand whether this kind of support makes a lasting difference.
