Evidence-based public health policy.
Nurse-Family Partnership is a model program for evidence-based public policy and is among the strongest programs for preventive interventions offered for public investment.
Every year, approximately 600,000 children are born to low-income, first-time mothers in the U.S. By offering support to this vulnerable population, Nurse-Family Partnership helps break the cycle of poverty, strengthen communities, and improve lives. However, state and federal funding is essential if Nurse-Family Partnership is to be made available to every eligible first-time, low-income family.
Across the nation, cities and states are realizing the value of evidence-based public policy through programs that are verified to improve outcomes for families and communities, such as Nurse-Family Partnership. Its proven effectiveness makes Nurse-Family Partnership a model of evidence-based public policy, while delivering a substantial return on investment. Along with unsurpassed outcomes on a social level, Nurse-Family Partnership services have shown decreases in the number of families enrolled in Medicaid and food stamps programs, as well as improvements in school achievement, responsible citizenship, and successful parenting.
