What are the goals of Nurse-Family Partnership?
The goals of the program are: Improve pregnancy outcomes; improve child health and development; and improve the economic self-sufficiency of the family. The program achieves these goals by helping women engage in good preventive health practices, including obtaining thorough prenatal care from their healthcare providers, improving their diet, and reducing their use of cigarettes, alcohol and illegal substances; child health and development is improved by helping parents provide responsible and competent care for their children; and economic self-sufficiency is improved by helping parents develop a vision for their own future, plan future pregnancies, continue their education and find work.
