Multiple studies have found that the Nurse-Family Partnership is most effective for mothers and children facing adversity, such as those in low-SES situations. Trained nurses, rather than paraprofessionals, are typically the ones delivering the intervention. As kindergartners, program children scored higher in both language and intelligence than comparison children. However, the most consistently supported finding is that home-visited mothers are on a more favorable life course than comparison mothers, with improved pregnancy outcomes, decreased involvement with the criminal justice system, and increased employment and income. Therefore, statement D is the only one that accurately reflects the effectiveness of the Nurse-Family Partnership.
