Abstract: This is a request to use surveys and semi-structured telephone interviews to gather information about how Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) state and territory local implementing agencies (LIAs) and tribal grantees (hereafter referred to collectively as MIECHV funded LIAs) recruit families for program participation and work with their community referral partners to recruit families. The request also includes collection of select MIECHV funded LIAs’ outreach and recruitment materials to gather information on the content and messages contained within. We do not intend for this information to be used as the principal basis for public policy decisions. The request is for a descriptive study with the purpose of understanding challenges programs may face in reaching caseload capacity to help identify ways programs can reach more families who could benefit from home visiting.
