Overview of Grantee-Led Evaluations: The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program

The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV) provides an unparalleled opportunity to expand the knowledge base on home visiting implementation and effectiveness through rigorous grantee-led evaluations.

The evaluations complement other federal home visiting studies and are critical to the national research agenda. They can solve local problems, add to our understanding of home visiting in diverse contexts, and contribute new knowledge to the field.

This brief provides an overview of evaluations conducted by MIECHV grantees funded between 2011 and 2015 to serve at-risk families using evidence-based home visiting models or promising approaches.
