New Parent Support Program Evaluation

The purpose of this study is to perform a program evaluation of the Navy and Marine Corps\' New Parent Support Program (NPSP) home-visiting option. Both the Navy and Marine Corps have decided to pilot the Take Root Home Visitation (TRHV) curriculum, which is an evidence-informed, standardized program, with clients receiving NPSP home visits. This study is designed to examine the implementation and program effectiveness of TRHV compared to services as usual (SAU). Program outcomes include child development, parenting behaviors, child maltreatment risk and protective factors, and child maltreatment incidents. Implementation outcomes include clinicians\' and clients\' satisfaction with the program, clinicians\' fidelity to the program delivery model, and clients\' engagement with the program.
