RoHVR Checklist
Reporting of Home Visiting Research Checklist
HARC developed the Reporting of Home Visiting Research (RoHVR) Checklist to introduce home visiting-focused guidelines for integrating key reporting elements across multiple study designs. The guidelines are intended to improve the quality of reporting about home visiting research and evaluation. This brief introduces the potential uses of the RoHVR Checklist and how it was developed before outlining its structure and components.
RoHVR Checklist
