The primary measures of effects on child health indicators are measured by comparing child health journal data with aggregated child health statistics at 18 months, and comparison of program participants with non-participant controls at 30 months (pilot study).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame

Provider perspectives are evaluated using interviews. 2. Fidelity is measured with a mixed methods analysis of questionnaire data submitted by professionals after each visit. Implementation quality is measured by an analysis of documentation. Pre-implementation facilitators and barriers are measured with mixed methods.
