To promote healthy infant development and reduce child maltreatment and abuse, Durham Connects offers all families with newborns in Durham County, NC, the opportunity for a nurse to come to the home to perform a comprehensive assessment of risk factors and provide education and support tailored to the families' risks and needs, including connections to community-based resources. The program has enhanced the ability to identify at-risk families; improved connections to community resources, parenting skills, and the safety and quality of the home environment; and significantly reduced infant medical emergencies. In its first year, the program generated an estimated $3 in cost savings for every dollar invested.
