Summary

The purpose of this study is to conduct formative work with relevant stakeholders, including families and home visitation program staff involved in previous studies and/or future projects, to understand facilitators, barriers, and other attitudes related to incorporating cardiovascular health topics into existing curricula and to obtain input on treatment modifications for future programs.

Detailed description

Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education administers an annual electronic survey to all home-visiting program staff and enrolled families. The survey queries these individuals about demographics, program satisfaction, and interest in new programming. We will request deidentified survey data to understand what proportion of families currently being served are currently expecting (pregnant) or are within one year post-partum. Those that fall in that category will be asked survey questions gauging their interest in cardiovascular health topics. Additionally, home-visiting staff will be asked about their comfort-level discussing the cardiovascular health topics with their clients. Home-visiting program staff will also be invited to participate in group-setting qualitative interviews focused on facilitators, barriers, and other attitudes related to any new programming or material related to cardiovascular health topics in the future. Interviews will be audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and the file will be erased after the transcripts have been verified for completeness. The transcription will not have any identifiable data included as participants will use anonymous names or nicknames and/or their study identification number during the interview sessions.
