This brief provides an overview of reach in home visiting and its contribution to the usage component within the Precision Paradigm framework. It introduces five elements of reach and the levels at which they can be collected—community, program, and family. It also includes indicators of reach with relevant examples from the field. Together, these can inform home visiting interventions and study designs to improve our understanding of how to reach and enroll families into the intervention that fits each family at the time that is right for them.
