Families' experiences during the transition to parenthood and early childhood profoundly shape the lifetime trajectory of both parents and children, laying the foundation for societal inequities. Intensive home visiting programs, which aim to provide in-home support to socio-economically vulnerable parents during the transition to parenthood, are a prominent policy across the globe to provide support to less-resourced families. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry, in their article titled ‘Effectiveness of nurse-home visiting in improving child and maternal outcomes prenatally to age two years: A randomised controlled trial (British Columbia Healthy Connections Project)’, Catherine et al. provide evidence from a randomized controlled trial of the impact of the Nurse-Family Partnership in Canada on child injury, language and behavior and birth spacing outcomes. This commentary discusses the paper's contribution and reflects on opportunities and challenges in building a nuanced understanding of the evidence-base supporting intensive home visiting programs.

对密集家访在改善家庭结局方面的作用进行细致入微的评估：对凯瑟琳等人的评论。(2023)

家庭在为人父母和童年早期的过渡过程中的经历深刻地塑造了父母和孩子的一生轨迹，为社会不平等奠定了基础。密集家访计划旨在为父母过渡期间社会经济弱势的父母提供家庭支持，是全球范围内向资源匮乏的家庭提供支持的一项重要政策。在本期《临床心理学和精神病学杂志》中，Catherine 等人在题为“护士之家探访对改善产前至两岁儿童和孕产妇结局的有效性：一项随机对照试验（不列颠哥伦比亚省健康连接项目）”的文章中等人。提供来自加拿大护士家庭伙伴关系对儿童伤害、语言和行为以及生育间隔结果影响的随机对照试验的证据。本评论讨论了本文的贡献，并反思了对支持强化家访计划的证据基础建立细致入微的理解的机遇和挑战。
