Oregon Healthy Start Evaluation
Purpose: This study examines the effectiveness of a statewide program of home visiting services for at-risk families. First-time parents are screened for risk factors, and high-risk parents are offered more intensive home visiting services. Continuous program improvement is supported by measuring key process and outcome indicators using the Healthy Families America performance standards. Reports are provided to the sites quarterly and annually to support continuous program improvement.
Project Design: The evaluation uses a performance measurement approach, assessing outcomes for more than 3000 children and families at the child's 6-, 12-, 24-, and 36-month birthday.
