We examine maternal life-course mediators of the impact of a nurse home visitation program on reducing child maltreatment among participants in the Elmira trial of the Nurse Family Partnership program from the first child’s birth through age 15. For women having experienced low to moderate levels of domestic violence, program effects on the number of confirmed maltreatment reports were mediated by reductions in numbers of subsequent children born to mothers and their reported use of public assistance. Together, the two mediators explained nearly one half of the total effect of nurse home visiting on child maltreatment. The long-term success of this program on reducing child maltreatment can be explained, at least in part, by its positive effect on pregnancy planning and economic self-sufficiency.

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic condition affecting primarily individuals of African descent, who happen to be disproportionately impacted by poverty and who lack access to health care. Individuals with SCD are at high likelihood of high acute care utilization and chronic pain episodes. The multiple complications seen in SCD contribute to significant morbidity and premature mortality, as well as substantial costs to the healthcare system. Objectives: SCD is a complex chronic disease resulting in the need for primary, specialty and emergency care. Many providers do not feel prepared to care for individuals with SCD, despite the existence of evidence-based guidelines. We report the development of a SCD toolbox and the dissemination process to primary care and emergency department (ED) providers in North Carolina (NC). We report the effect of this dissemination on health-care utilization, cost of care, and overall cost-benefit. Methods: The SCD toolbox was adapted from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute recommendations. Toolbox training was provided to quality improvement specialists who then disseminated the toolbox to primary care providers (PCPs) affiliated with the only NC managed care coordination system and ED providers. Tools were made available in paper, online, and in app formats to participating managed care network practices (n=1800). Medicaid claims data were analyzed for total costs and benefits of the toolbox dissemination for a 24-month pre- and 18-month post-intervention period. Results: There was no statistically significant shift in the number of outpatient specialty visits, ED visits or hospitalizations. There was a small decrease in the number of PCP visits in the post-implementation period. The dissemination resulted in a net cost-savings of $361 414 ($14.03 per-enrollee per-month on average). However, the estimated financial benefit associated with the dissemination of the SCD toolbox was not statistically significant. Conclusions: Although we did not find the expected shift to increased PCP visits and decreased ED visits and hospitalizations, there were many lessons learned.

Fattori Di Rischio

Interventi di home visiting nei contesti familiari a rischio di maltrattamento sui minori sono fondamentali per ridurre i fattori di rischio e promuovere quelli di protezione. Lo studio propone una prima valutazione del programma di intervento fiorentino "Home Visiting: Percorsi di Sostegno alla Genitorialità" condotto dagli operatori dell'Azienda Usl Toscana Centro di Firenze. Hanno partecipato allo studio 20 madri. È stata condotta un'analisi retrospettiva delle cartelle cliniche e delle schede del progetto. I risultati mostrano che il 70 % delle madri non è stato segnalato per rischio di maltrattamento sui minori in seguito all'intervento e che la presa in carico tardiva costituisce un indice di rischio che aumenta la probabilità di segnalazioni per il rischio di maltrattamento. Lo studio indica la necessità che futuri interventi di home visiting tengano di conto del momento di presa in carico come fattore capace di garantire la riuscita dell'intervento e la sua efficacia.
