Summary

This study looks at whether the Nurse-Family Partnership program, where nurses visit first-time, low-income mothers during pregnancy and early childhood, can prevent preterm birth, low birth weight, and injuries in children. About 6,000 mothers in South Carolina are taking part. The goal is to see if these visits lead to healthier babies and safer families.
