July 2018 - September 2018
Rigorous evaluation of the Infant Mental Health Home Visiting (IMH-HV) program includes assessment of program impact on parenting and the parent-child relationship. As part of the IMH-HV evaluation we will collect an anticipated 1080 video files for coding parent-child interaction, and an equivalent number of audio files for coding parent narratives about the child. The goal of this project is to code and analyze video and narrative data collected as part of the Infant Mental Health Home Visiting (IMH-HV) evaluation in order to establish this model as an evidence-based practice. Specifically in this year of the project we will: a) collect and code video and narrative data collected as part of the IMH-HV evaluation, b) ensure that the IMH-HV model is being delivered with fidelity through provision of qualified reflective consultation and regular supervision, and c) analyze the video and narrative data.
