A Scoping Review of Home Visiting Research Using Linked Data Copy Resource Link Link copied to clipboard

One of HARC’s objectives is to promote data sharing and interoperability. To this end, HARC conducted a scoping review of published, peer-reviewed research using early childhood home visiting (HV) data linked with other administrative datasets to identify data sources, methods for linkage, study designs, research questions, and outcome categories in the literature. Collectively, the included articles demonstrate the value of linking data to answer research questions that cannot be readily answered with home visiting program data alone; they also highlight gaps and opportunities for research questions, study designs, data linkage work, and partner and community engagement.
