Oklahoma’s Community-Based Family Resource and Support (CBFRS) Program Model Components

Section

Oklahoma’s CBFRS program provided home visitation to participants. The content and the intensity of the program varied depending upon the stage of the intervention and the age of the child.

Oklahoma’s CBFRS program followed a standardized curriculum that covered (1) maternal and child health, (2) child growth and development, and (3) parenting. The parenting-related materials covered topics such as attachment, guidance, and play. The health portion of the curriculum focused on topics including maternal and child nutrition, substance use, labor and delivery, family planning, and immunizations. The content of the curriculum varied depending on the stage of the intervention. For example, during the prenatal period, the home visitors covered more maternal health-related topics, whereas the curriculum focused more on parenting following the child’s birth. All families received instruction covering the three general curriculum topics, but the home visitors could tailor the curriculum by selecting subtopics within the overarching categories that addressed families’ specific concerns or interests.
