Examining Drivers and Impacts of Home Visitor Professional Well-Being
Home visitors support caregivers to navigate the ups and downs of raising young children. How can home visiting programs and systems ensure home visitor professional well-being is prioritized so they can provide high-quality services that translate to positive child and family outcomes?
This project uses the Early Head Start (EHS) Family and Child Experiences secondary dataset to—
- Examine the extent to which EHS home visitors have access to key drivers of professional well-being
- Describe dimensions of EHS home visitor professional well-being based on measures of job satisfaction and depressive symptoms
- Examine associations between drivers of professional well-being, dimensions of professional well-being, and the nature and quality of EHS home visitors’ work with families
The study is guided by a conceptual model of home visitor professional well-being created by JBA for the Supporting and Strengthening the Home Visiting Workforce (SAS-HV) project. The team also engages with an EHS practitioner workgroup to inform the interpretation and implication of project findings.
