Abstract

Description

Overall, the results of this study support a conclusion that multiparous mothers participate similarly and have similar outcomes to primiparous mothers in the Healthy Families home visitation program. Although they were older and at higher risk than the primiparous participants, the multiparous participants participated similarly to primiparous mothers. In addition, the multiparous and primiparous mothers had similar patterns of outcomes. This study examined three outcome indicators (one of which was assessed at two separate times), and none had a significant relationship with parity. In fact, on immunizations, both groups far surpassed the Virginia general population rates.
