 Building Infrastructure to Support Home-Visiting to Prevent Child Maltreatment: Two Year Findings From The Cross-Site Evaluation of the Supporting Evidence-Based Home Visiting Initiative
This brief prepared for the Children’s Bureau by Mathematica Policy Research and Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago, shows that states are enthusiastic about home visiting and most already had programs operating in their states when the five-year grant began in 2008. Collaborations already existed in many of these states to lay groundwork for bringing or expanding evidence-based approaches to home visiting. Grantees built on these existing collaborations or began new partnerships to implement the grant program, “The Supporting Evidence-Based Home Visiting to Prevent Child Maltreatment Grantee Cluster” (EBHV) which funded 17 grantees in 15 states. During the first two years of the grant, grantees and their partner organizations began building 8 capacities to support and sustain grantee-selected home visiting models: (1) planning, (2) collaboration, (3) operations, (4) workforce development, (5) fiscal support, (6) community and political support, (7) communications, and (8) evaluation.
Supporting Home Visitors in Evidence-Based Programs: Experiences of EBHV Grantees
This brief summarizes lessons about supervising and supporting home visitors in evidence-based home visiting programs. Information comes from grantees participating in the Children's Bureau Supporting Evidence-Based Home Visiting (EBHV) to Prevent Child Maltreatment grantee cluster. Topics addressed include steps to cultivate organizational support for evidence-based home visiting programs, methods to address internal staff concerns about these programs, benefits of evidence-based models' approaches to home visitor supervision, and the need to provide home visitors with resources and knowledge through community partnerships.
Replicating Evidence-Based Home Visiting Models: A Framework for Assessing Fidelity
This brief presents a framework for monitoring fidelity to home visiting program models developed as part of the Supporting Evidence-Based Home Visiting to Prevent Child Maltreatment (EBHV) initiative’s cross-site evaluation.
Recruiting and Training Home Visitors for Evidence-Based Home Visiting (EBHV): Experiences of the EBHV Grantees
This brief is the second in a series that documents the cross-site evaluation.
Assessing the Need for Evidence-Based Home Visiting (EBHV): Experiences of the EBHV Grantees
This brief is the first in a series that documents the cross-site evaluation.
Reports
 Building Infrastructure to Support Home-Visiting to Prevent Child Maltreatment
The EBHV Cross-Site Evaluation Data Instruments manual is a companion to the EBHV Design Report. It provides the data use collection instruments used in the national cross-site evaluation to date. These include protocols from site visits conducted in 2010 and 2012; a protocol for interviews on system change activities conducted in 2011 along with a sample logic model used for the interviews; the survey of grantee partners conducted in 2010; the instruments used to collect data on fidelity of home visiting programs through 2012, and the instrument used for the web-based time use survey in early 2012.

This document provides a brief summary of the cross-site evaluation design.
Cross-Site Evaluation of the Supporting Evidence-Based Home Visiting Grantees: Summary of the Planning Year
This document summarizes the key activities conducted during this initial planning year and provides reflections on experiences and lessons learned using a participatory approach to evaluation planning.
Evaluating Systems Change Efforts to Support Evidence-Based Home Visiting: Concepts and Methods
This document grounds the cross-site systems domain evaluation approach in the system literature. It focuses on three aspects of the systems domain evaluation: 1) the system-based evaluation approach and theory of change, 2) core EBHV infrastructure concepts, and 3) system-based evaluation methods.
