Summary

The MOM Program provided mothers or caregivers with home visits to foster participants’ abilities to promote the health and development of their children, and to provide information and resources to help participants obtain early program support for their children.

Participants received home visits from a team of nurse practitioners and community workers who provided participants with insights into their children’s development and informed them about additional services, such as Early Head Start. Home visitors provided relevant information and insights after assessing children using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire. Participants received up to 11 home visits over 3 years; the final home visit occurred when the child turned 33 months. The primary population of the MOM Program was mothers or caregivers with low incomes living in urban, high-poverty zip codes in Philadelphia, PA. The MOM program was part of a larger program, which followed children for up to 60 months. Evaluators were preparing a final report of the 60-month outcomes at the time of this description’s publication.
