Research Network Studies

Since 2017, there have been nearly three dozen studies carried out with HARC’s practice-based research network (PBRN). These studies have covered a variety of topics –family engagement, military families, birth outcomes, home visiting’s response to COVID-19, workforce development, and many more. HARC PBRN studies recruit a range of participants, in the past program managers, supervisors and home visitors have all had the opportunity to participate in studies. The PBRN has also supported studies that have worked through home visitors to recruit families enrolled in home visiting. All HARC PBRN studies undergo a review process by the HARC Council. More information about proposing a study can be found here.

Completed Studies

In the past year, HARC’s PBRN has been used to recruit participants for the following studies:

  • Supporting and Strengthening the Home Visiting Workforce (recruitment closed)
  • Pretesting a New Measure of Reflective Supervision Practices for the Home Visiting Context (recruitment closed)
  • Establishing Behaviors for Coaching Home Visitors: A Modified e-Delphi Study (recruitment closed)

Upon completion, the HARC Council requests that study teams put together a brief highlighting study aims and key results. These briefs are shared with study participants first and later disseminated to the entire network. A selection of completed briefs can be found below.
