MIHOPE Kindergarten Follow-up Virtual Visit

Pilot Recruitment Screener


Thank you for your interest in this pilot that we are doing as part of the Mother and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation (MIHOPE)! This study is sponsored by the Administration for Children and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The goal of MIHOPE is to improve the well-being of children and families by looking at the long-term effects of home visiting services. We will be conducting a pilot of these virtual visits and need your help to test out the forms and procedures before conducting these visits with hundreds of families who are part of the study.


Today, I would like to just ask some questions to confirm that you meet the criteria to participate in the pilot. Answering these questions is estimated to take about six and a half minutes and answering these questions is completely voluntary. If you are invited to participate, you will receive a $75 gift card for completing the virtual visit. The questions I ask today will only be used to identify families to participate in this pilot; your answers will not be shared with anyone outside of the study team. [IF NEEDED: Your answers to these questions will not affect any services you or your child may be receiving.]


1. Are you the mother of a child who will be:


Entering kindergarten in the fall, or

entering first grade in the fall?
