Abstract: Home visiting is a voluntary service delivery strategy that aims to support the health and well-being of parents or caregivers and their young children (birth through age 5). The potential positive impacts of home visiting on outcomes such as child health and development, maltreatment prevention, and family economic self-sufficiency are limited by low enrollment among eligible families and high attrition. This report describes the findings from an evidence review that examined strategies to enhance recruitment and uptake of families into home visiting services. Through this evidence review, the authors initially identified 344 resources. After evaluating each resource individually, they included 71 of them in the analysis. As a result of resource identification, data extraction, and content analysis, the Child Trends team arrived at a set of 21 strategies for enhancing recruitment and uptake that were summarized into the following four themes: (1) Messaging & Outreach; (2) Responsiveness & Flexibility; (3) Referral Partnerships; and (4) Programmatic Efforts.
