Editor's Notes
- Introduce self Introduce and here to talk about the NFP PFHP program
- Nurse-Family Partnership was developed over 30 years ago by founder, David Olds who after working in an inner-city day-care center in the late 1970’s suspected that by age four or five many children who come from disadvantaged homes were already in trouble. His experiences led him to develop a program for first time mothers. I think you may have read the quote by now, which helps you to understand why Dr. Olds and our program are so committed to first-time mothers.
- Consistent program effects were found in at least 2 of the 3 trials: Improved prenatal health Fewer childhood injuries Increased intervals between births Increased maternal employment Improved school readiness
- We are an evidence-based community health program with more than 30 years of evidence that shows it WORKS! We transform the lives of our clients – first-time, low-income mothers. Most of these moms come from generational poverty, are single, unemployed, low education level and in unhealthy relationships. Many have substance abuse issues and other pschosocial issues including mental health diagnoses that put themselves and their infants at risk.
- Today, Nurse-Family Partnership has a presence in 29 states and in over 350 counties in the U.S. NFP also has expanded internationally. Piloting programs in Great Britain, Germany and elsewhere.
- Longitudinal follow-ups look at program effects on maternal economic self-sufficiency, substance abuse and children’s adaptive functioning including mental health, criminal behavior and productive life course These are conducted at program sites around the country and include studies of interventions to help nurses deal more effectively with maternal depression and to more fully engage participants . In past four years PRC has five contractual agreements to consult on research and development of NFP programs abroad.
- Nurse-Family Partnership is a disciplined program. Every nurse receives extensive training to ensure that they focus on three goals: 1. Improve pregnancy outcomes: Help women practice sound health-related behaviors, including: obtaining good prenatal care from their healthcare provider; improving their diet; and reducing personal health behaviors that can affect a child such as the use of cigarettes, alcohol and illegal drugs. 2. Improve the child’s health and development: Help parents provide responsible and competent care for their children. 3. Improve families’ economic self-sufficiency: Help parents develop a vision for their own future, plan future pregnancies, continue their education and find jobs. The program features five program components essential to the successful implementation of the program: It begins with the clients we serve – first-time, low-income mothers. We focus on families with limited resources because they are more likely to experience increased risk factors. As I have noted, nurses are a central component and the intensive services they provide helps women to learn skills as well as acquire knowledge. Why nurses? Pregnant women have many questions and concerns about their health and the baby's health, and highly value the expertise that nurses can bring to them during this critical life transition. One nurse who works with us noted that many times our clients don’t understand what’s going on and they can be intimidated by a doctor. Working with their nurse on a continual basis allows them the time they need to build trust and ask questions. This relationship is an important part of our program’s success. Nurse-Family Partnership is a rigorous program. During each visit, a nurse collects information which is fed into a database that our national office in Denver maintains. This enables your local agency to monitor the program, using the information to ensure the same results that we have seen during the first 30 years are realized in your community. Visit-by-visit guidelines are also provided to help our nurses structure each engagement so that it adheres to key components of our program but remains adaptable to each family’s needs.
- Home visits focus on six core areas beginning with the mother’s personal health and the maternal role. Nurses also work with mothers on issues that can affect their development and their child including environmental health issues and the influence of family and friends. Life course development focuses on the mother’s future, and nurses also help their clients navigate the health and human services system to take advantage of resources that can benefit both mother and child.
- A study conducted by the Washington State Institute of Public Policy estimated a return on investment of $18,000 for each family enrolled, and a 1998 study by the Rand Corporation found that savings accrue in areas such as health care delivery, child protection, education, criminal justice, mental health and welfare and public assistance. In addition, communities also realize a benefit through increased taxes paid by employed parents.

- Finally, many agencies, organizations and independent “think tanks” have strongly endorsed Nurse-Family Partnership in recent years. Each of these organizations recommends Nurse-Family-Partnership because of our strong scientific foundation and our published findings. In short – they endorse Nurse-Family Partnership because it works.
- While Nurse-Family Partnership remains focused on the mothers we serve and the communities and agencies that partner with us, we are gaining increased attention at the national level. We believe this interest is part of an ongoing trend to identify and invest in community health programs that work and we welcome the chance to talk with you about how we can work together to benefit mothers and our community. Or as some might say – Nurse-Family Partnership is real change.
- Thank you for your time today – I welcome the chance to answer any questions you may have.
