About the Cover

Home-based interventions have successfully reduced environmental health problems for young children, yet the burden persists. This month’s cover article describes the extent to which home visiting models included and evaluated home-based interventions. A survey was administered to key representatives at each of the 21 home visiting models eligible for Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program funding. Slightly more than one half of the respondents reported that their models included some environmental health content. The services used most often to address environmental health were risk assessment and referral to other organizations. Home visiting programs represent a promising approach to mitigating harmful environmental exposures during early childhood, but further incorporating comprehensive home assessments, safety device provision and installation, and linkages to healthy homes organizations would amplify their positive impact.
