High-quality home-visiting services for infants and young children can improve family relationships, advance school readiness, reduce child maltreatment, improve maternal-infant health outcomes, and increase family economic self-sufficiency.

Community home visiting is most effective as a component of a comprehensive early childhood system that actively includes and enhances a family-centered medical home.
