Intervention
The intervention extends the service provider's nursing program statewide. The service provider partners first-time mothers with a personal, specially-trained nurse home visitor who guides them through pregnancy until their child's second birthday. The expectant moms benefit by getting the care and support they need to have a healthy pregnancy, while also developing a close relationship with a nurse who becomes a trusted resource they can rely on for advice in the future. Through this partnership, the nurse provides new moms with the confidence and tools they need to assure a healthy start for their babies and envision a life of stability and opportunities for both mom and child.
Target population
First-time, low-income moms at no more than twenty-eight weeks gestation with eligible/enrolled in Medicaid, with focus on ZIP codes with high concentrations of poverty.

Important Notice and Disclaimer on INDIGO Data
INDIGO data are shared for research and policy analysis purposes. INDIGO data can be used to support a range of insights, for example, to understand the social outcomes that projects aim to improve, the network of organisations across projects, trends, scales, timelines and summary information. The collaborative system by which we collect, process, and share data is designed to advance data-sharing norms, harmonise data definitions and improve data use. These data are NOT shared for auditing, investment, or legal purposes. Please independently verify any data that you might use in decision making. We provide no guarantees or assurances as to the quality of these data. Data may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, and/or not current for various reasons: INDIGO is a collaborative and iterative initiative that mostly relies on projects all over the world volunteering to share their data. We have a system for processing information and try to attribute data to named sources, but we do not audit, cross-check, or verify all information provided to us. It takes time and resources to share data, which may not have been included in a project’s budget. Many of the projects are ongoing and timely updates may not be available. Different people may have different interpretations of data items and definitions. Even when data are high quality, interpretation or generalisation to different contexts may not be possible and/or requires additional information and/or expertise.
