RT Journal A1 Levenstein P, Levenstein S T1 LOng-term effects of home visits on children's behavior JF JAMA JO JAMA YR 1999 FD April 21 VO 281 IS 15 SP 1375 OP 1377 DO 10-1001/pubs.JAMA-ISSN-0098-7484-281-15-jbk0421 UL http://dx.doi.org/10-1001/pubs.JAMA-ISSN-0098-7484-281-15-jbk0421 AB It remains to be shown how such a minimal intervention (bimonthly to monthly home visits by a nurse, often limited to the period of pregnancy) could effect such profound and long-lasting changes; the authors themselves propose few candidate mechanisms beyond biological mediators such as decrease in fetal tobacco exposure.
