Key Findings:
- Families who participate in the Maternal Infant Health Program (MIHP) have reported that the program is beneficial and that they had positive experiences with MIHP.
- A majority of participants had excellent or very good relationships with their home visitor and felt the program fully met their needs.
- Communication strategies that emphasize these positive experiences may help shift the perception of the program to encourage eligible families to participate.
...we found that people who participated in MIHP were overwhelmingly satisfied with the program, felt the program met their needs, and felt they had a good relationship with their home visitor.” Page 2
