Tribal home visiting

The HomVEE project includes a review of studies about early childhood home visiting models that are of potential relevance to tribal populations, including American Indian and Alaskan Native (AIAN) families and children. This page lists models, reviewed by HomVEE, that have been tested in samples that include at least 10 percent of study participants from tribal populations. In addition to the specific reports on each model that are linked below, this page provides summary reports across several models of the research conducted and lessons learned about early childhood home visiting services with tribal populations.

SafeCare^®

Entries in this row combine information across all versions of SafeCare. Only SafeCare Augmented meets HHS criteria for an evidence-based home visiting model. For SafeCare itself, there are no manuscripts about high- or moderate-quality impact studies. Some other versions of SafeCare have at least one such manuscripts. Planned Activities Training (a SafeCare module) and Cellular Phone Enhanced Planned Activities Training (a SafeCare module with an add-on) show evidence of effectiveness.
