Abstract
Home visiting for mothers and children have a great potential to improve health and developmental
outcomes and to mitigate disparities, by acting early, working with families
and being proactive in reaching out for all. There is substantial evidence about the health
and social benefits achieved through home visiting, although contextual factors and the
quality of the service, including its connection with the health, social and education services
of the community, are crucial factors for success. The currently preferred model of home visiting
is a blended model that combines a universal approach with a risk approach. Options
for implementing a home visiting programme in Italy are discussed, as well as their costs
and implications for the selection and training of the home visitors. An experimental approach
is recommended.
