Voices from the Field: Contextual Factors in Home Visiting Practice Copy Resource Link Link copied to clipboard

This brief summarizes a qualitative study completed with home visitors focusing on the contextual factors influencing their work. Contextual factors influence home visiting outcomes in both positive and negative ways; either enhancing effectiveness or diminishing impact. Part of HARC’s work is to identify emerging and enduring contextual issues and promote collaborative research to address them. Our Precision Paradigm framework includes context as a key concept to help research teams and collaborators identify which program components are most effective, for which families, and under what conditions (HARC, 2024).
