TL;DR
Findings suggest that who is offered home visitation may be an important factor in explaining the differential effectiveness of home visitation programs and improved effects may be realized by prioritizing the populations served or by enhancing the model to meet program objectives for hard-to-serve families.
Abstract
These findings suggest that who is offered home visitation may be an important factor in explaining the differential effectiveness of home visitation programs. Improved effects may be realized by prioritizing the populations served or by enhancing the model to meet program objectives for hard-to-serve families.

JAMALong-term Effects of Home Visitation on Maternal Life Course and Child Abuse and Neglect
1,364 Citations1997David L. Olds
This program of prenatal and early childhood home visitation by nurses can reduce the number of subsequent pregnancies, the use of welfare, child abuse and neglect, and criminal behavior on the part of low-income, unmarried mothers for up to 15 years after the birth of the first child.

Treatment differences for child abuse and neglect and emergency room visits were more significant among women who had a lower sense of control over their lives.

When trained in a model program of prenatal and infancy home visiting, paraprofessionals produced small effects that rarely achieved statistical or clinical significance; the absence of statistical significance for some outcomes is probably attributable to limited statistical power to detect small effects.

The article concludes that the use of nurses as home visitors is key; that services should be targeted to the neediest populations, rather than being offered on a universal basis; that clinically tested methods of changing health and behavioral risks should be incorporated into program protocols; and that services must be implemented with fidelity to the model tested if program benefits found in scientifically controlled studies are to be reproduced as the program is replicated in new communities.

The intervention produced reductions in observed coercive parenting, prevented decay in positive parenting, and generally improved effective parenting practices in comparisons of mothers in experimental and control groups, and coercion theory was supported.

The findings showed that most of the association between negative parenting and children's externalizing behavior was not explicable on the basis of an evocative gene-environment correlation and that an additional environmentally mediated parental effect on children's behavior was plausible.

188 Citations2005Harriet L. MacMillan, Betsy Thomas +5 more
Despite the positive results of home visitation by nurses for disadvantaged first-time mothers as an early prevention strategy, this visit-based strategy does not seem to be effective in prevention of recidivism of physical abuse and neglect in families associated with the child protection system.

164 Citations1995David L. Olds, Charles Henderson +2 more
Children who were identified as maltreated and who were visited by nurses during pregnancy and the first two years of life had less serious expressions of caregiving dysfunction, a reflection of earlier and more comprehensive detection of child maltreatment on the part of nurse-visited families.

This study is the first to examine whether children of teenage mothers are at increased risk of maltreatment compared with children of older mothers using a longitudinal, cohort design and to address important methodologic issues such as detection bias.
