Methods for Study of Program Retention

Using an ecological framework (Bronfenbrenner, 1979), this study investigated the effects of community, visitor, and maternal attributes on retention in a voluntary home visiting program.

Mothers were nested within home visitors, and both were nested within communities (Fig. 7.2). A review of the literature indicated that attributes from each of these three levels could influence program retention. Accordingly, analyses were conducted to examine the effect of community violence on program retention, key home visitor attributes that influence program retention, key maternal attributes that influence program retention, and all possible interactions within and across these three levels.
