This is likely to provide an important influx of resources to support Nurse Family Partnership programs around the country. > P/PV's Joan Loch Co-Authors Article in the American Journal of Nursing Loch, Deputy Director of NFP Education and Quality Improvement at P/PV, co-authored an article that appeared in the November issue of the Journal. The piece, titled The Nurse-Family Partnership, documents the program's "history, results, and costs, and the support systems that sustain nurses in this challenging but rewarding work." > Recent Harvard Study Cites NFP's Strong Evidence of Effectiveness A new report, A Science Based Framework for Early Childhood Development, by the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University cites the Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) as “the home visiting program with the strongest evidence of success” and makes the case that policymakers should invest in programs like NFP—those that “offer the best course toward positive outcomes for children.”
