Summary

This trial is studying whether a nurse home visiting program can help improve early child development.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for mothers and infants living in Baltimore City, where the birth took place at Sinai Hospital starting around July 15, 2019. Participants must speak English. It's not open to those who don't meet these location, hospital birth timing, or language requirements.
What is being tested?
The study tests if a nurse home visiting program can improve child development and family outcomes. This includes reducing infant ER visits/hospital stays, increasing use of community resources/quality childcare, improving maternal wellbeing, and enhancing home safety/supportive parenting.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves community services rather than medical treatments or drugs, there are no typical side effects like you'd expect with medication. However, participation could impact family routines or privacy.
