Overview

Randomized trial shows postnatal nurse home visiting improves mental health in parents, indicating sustained benefits and mechanisms.

Key Points

  • Parents receiving the Family Connects intervention had significantly lower depression scores at infant age 60 months, highlighting lasting effects.
  • Regression analyses revealed parents in the intervention group reported fewer depressive symptoms and better social well-being compared to the control group.
  • The quality of the home environment acted as a significant mediator, suggesting it plays a role in sustaining mental health benefits after the intervention.
  • Findings from the study, involving 4777 birthing families in Durham, NC, underscore the impact of home visiting programs on long-term mental health.
