Actual home visiting services adhere to HFAK standards
HFAK promotes healthy family functioning promotes child health and development and prevents child abuse and neglect

The study is a randomized trial of six HFAK sites throughout Alaska It aims to compare services actually provided to HFAK standards assess program success in achieving intended outcomes and relate program impact to service delivery
Families are enrolled over 21 months beginning in January 2000 Families are randomized to either the HFAk group or the control group Baseline data on family attributes are collected from HFAK files and maternal interviews HFAK service data are collected from the programs management information system record reviews surveys of staff and staff focus groups Outcome data are collected when the children were two years old through maternal interview home-based observations child developmental testing review of medical records and review of OCS child welfare records
