520 |a In 2019, there were 372,329 babies born in Canada. Public health early child home visiting programs have been delivered for many years in all provinces and territories in Canada. Home visiting is a method for delivering a broad range of child development enhancement services to parents, newborns and their families. It has the advantage of the individually tailoring support to clients in the context of their own homes. However, these services have disadvantages in terms of not being able to provide care to as many mothers/newborns in comparison to centre-based care, and have potential resource implications. In contrast, health centre-based programs may sacrifice specificity of care based on families' different living conditions, and require transportation costs which may be burdensome for families. The purpose of this report is to examine the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of prenatal and postnatal home visiting programs for parents, newborns, and babies up to two years of age. Additionally, evidence-based guidelines regarding the provision of prenatal and postnatal home visiting programs for these populations will be reviewed
