Mothers and Babies 1-on-1 in Home Visiting
Mothers and Babies 1-on-1 was a pilot study funded by Friends of Prentice and the Illinois Governor’s Office of Early Childhood Development. Conducted from 2014 to 2016, the study partnered with home visiting programs across Illinois to test the effectiveness of a newly adapted Mothers and Babies 1-on-1 program. A cluster randomized trial was conducted with 14 home visiting programs—8 delivering Mothers and Babies 1-on-1 program and 6 providing usual home visiting services, all through existing home visiting staff. The study enrolled 120 pregnant women and assessed maternal mental health outcomes at prenatal baseline and 3- and 6-months postpartum.
