UNASSIGNED: We created a linked cohort of all mothers aged 13-19 using data from health, educational and children\'s social care and defined mothers enrolled in the Family Nurse Partnership or not using Family Nurse Partnership system data. Propensity scores were used to create matched groups for analysis.
UNASSIGNED: One hundred and thirty-six local authorities in England with active Family Nurse Partnership sites between 2010 and 2017.
UNASSIGNED: Mothers aged 13-19 at last menstrual period with live births between April 2010 and March 2019, living in a Family Nurse Partnership catchment area and their firstborn child(ren).
UNASSIGNED: The Family Nurse Partnership includes up to 64 home visits by a family nurse from early pregnancy until the child\'s second birthday and is combined with usual health and social care. Controls received usual health and social care.
UNASSIGNED: Indicators of child maltreatment (hospital admissions for injury/maltreatment, referral to social care services); child health and development (hospital utilisation and education) outcomes and maternal hospital utilisation and educational outcomes up to 7 years following birth.
UNASSIGNED: Family Nurse Partnership Information System, Hospital Episode Statistics, National Pupil Database.
UNASSIGNED: Of 110,520 eligible mothers, 25,680 (23.2%) were enrolled in the Family Nurse Partnership. Enrolment rates varied across 122 sites (range: 11-68%). Areas with more eligible mothers had lower enrolment rates. Enrolment was higher among mothers aged 13-15 (52%), than 18-19 year-olds (21%). Indicators of child maltreatment: we found no evidence of an association between the Family Nurse Partnership and indicators of child maltreatment, except for an increased rate of unplanned admissions for maltreatment/injury-related diagnoses up to age 2 for children born to Family Nurse Partnership mothers (6.6% vs. 5.7%, relative risk 1.15; 95% confidence interval 1.07 to 1.24). Child health and developmental outcomes: there was weak evidence that children born to Family Nurse Partnership mothers were more likely to achieve a Good Level of Development at age 5 (57.5% vs. 55.4%, relative risk 1.05; 95% confidence interval 1.00 to 1.09). Maternal outcomes: There was some evidence that Family Nurse Partnership mothers were less likely to have a subsequent delivery within 18 months of the index birth (8.4% vs. 9.3%, relative risk 0.92; 95% confidence interval 0.88 to 0.97). Younger and more vulnerable mothers received higher numbers of visits and were more likely to achieve fidelity targets. Meeting the fidelity targets was associated with some outcomes.
UNASSIGNED: Bias by indication and variation in the intervention and usual care over time and between areas may have limited our ability to detect effects. Multiple testing may have led to spurious, significant results.
UNASSIGNED: This study supports findings from evaluations of the Family Nurse Partnership showing no evidence of benefit for maltreatment outcomes measured in administrative data. Amongst all the outcomes measured, we found weak evidence that the Family Nurse Partnership was associated with improvements in child development at school entry, a reduction in rapid repeat pregnancies and evidence of increased healthcare-seeking in the mother and child.
UNASSIGNED: Future evaluations should capture better measures of Family Nurse Partnership interventions and usual care, more information on maternal risk factors and additional outcomes relating to maternal well-being.
UNASSIGNED: The study is registered as NIHR CRN Portfolio (42900).

The Family Nurse Partnership is an intensive home visiting service that offers first-time young mothers up to 64 visits with a family nurse from pregnancy to their child’s second birthday. The Family Nurse Partnership aims to improve birth outcomes, child health and development and promote economic self-sufficiency among young mothers. Previous research in England found no differences in birthweight, maternal smoking, repeat pregnancies or accident and emergency attendances between mothers who did or did not take part in the Family Nurse Partnership. However, children in the Family Nurse Partnership group had better measures of development at school age. We aimed to add to the evidence from earlier studies, by using electronic records that are routinely collected as part of health, education and social care services, to compare outcomes for around 26,000 mothers enrolled in the Family Nurse Partnership between 2010 and 2019 with similar mothers who were not enrolled. This study showed that around one in four mothers who were eligible for the programme were enrolled in the Family Nurse Partnership, and family nurses gave priority to mothers who were younger, more deprived or who had other markers of vulnerability (e.g. a history of substance misuse violence, self-harm or mental health conditions). We found no evidence of a difference in indicators of child maltreatment between mothers who were enrolled in the Family Nurse Partnership and those who were not enrolled, but we found weak evidence to suggest that children born to mothers enrolled in the Family Nurse Partnership were more likely to achieve a Good Level of Development at school entry (age 5). We also saw that mothers enrolled in the Family Nurse Partnership were less likely than those who were not enrolled to have their next child within 18 months of their first child. More research is needed to understand which elements of intensive home visiting services work best, for whom and when. This will help inform decisions about whether it is better to offer highly intensive services for a small portion of the target population or to extend and enhance existing universal health visiting services to better support all adolescent mothers.

家庭护士伙伴关系是一项密集的家访服务,从怀孕到孩子的第二个生日,为第一次年轻的母亲提供多达64次的家庭护士探访。家庭护士伙伴关系旨在改善分娩结果,儿童健康和发展,促进年轻母亲的经济自给自足。先前在英国的研究发现出生体重没有差异,母亲吸烟,参加或未参加家庭护士伙伴关系的母亲之间的重复怀孕或意外和紧急护理。然而,家庭护士伙伴关系组的儿童在学龄期有更好的发展指标.我们旨在增加早期研究的证据,通过使用作为健康的一部分定期收集的电子记录,教育和社会护理服务,比较2010年至2019年期间约26,000名参加家庭护士伙伴关系的母亲与未参加的类似母亲的结局。这项研究表明,有资格参加该计划的母亲中约有四分之一参加了家庭护士伙伴关系,家庭护士优先考虑年轻的母亲,更被剥夺或有其他脆弱性标志的人(例如滥用药物暴力的历史,自我伤害或精神健康状况)。我们没有发现任何证据表明参加家庭护士伙伴关系的母亲和未参加家庭护士伙伴关系的母亲之间的儿童虐待指标存在差异,但我们发现,薄弱的证据表明,在家庭护士伙伴关系中登记的母亲所生的孩子更有可能在入学时(5岁)达到良好的发展水平。我们还看到,参加家庭护士伙伴关系的母亲比没有参加的母亲在第一个孩子的18个月内生育下一个孩子的可能性要小。需要更多的研究来了解密集家访服务的哪些要素效果最好,为谁和何时。这将有助于决定是否更好地为一小部分目标人口提供高度密集的服务,还是扩大和加强现有的全民健康访问服务,以更好地支持所有青春期母亲。
