Purpose
This study is a longitudinal follow-up of 670 primarily African-American women and their 17-year-old firstborn children enrolled since 1990 in a highly significant randomized controlled trial (RCT) of prenatal and infancy home visiting by nurses. Nurses in this program are charged with improving pregnancy outcomes, child health and development, and maternal economic self-sufficiency. This follow-up examines whether earlier program effects on maternal and child functioning lead to less violent antisocial behavior, psychopathology, substance use and use-disorders, and risk for HIV; whether these effects are greater for those at both genetic and environmental risk; and whether program effects replicate those found with whites in an earlier trial.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Improvement of maternal life-course (fewer short inter-birth intervals, less use of welfare, more stable partner relations), especially for mothers with higher psychological resources. [ Time Frame: when first child is 17 ]
- Improvement of the health and development of firstborn children who will exhibit better functioning, better mental health, and better behavior. [ Time Frame: at child age 17 ]
- Reduction of children's risk for HIV infection, including a) use of substances and SUDs; b) risky sexual behaviors; c) sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and d) pregnancies. [ Time Frame: at child age 17 ]
- Program effects on children will be more pronounced for a) males, b) those born to low-resource mothers, and c) those living in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods at registration. [ Time Frame: at child age 17 ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Reduction of maternal substance use disorders (SUDs) and depression, effects that will be more pronounced for a) mothers with low psychological resources, and b) those living in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods at registration. [ Time Frame: when first child is 17 ]
- Program effects on mothers and children, in preliminary analyses, will be more pronounced for those with genetic vulnerabilities. [ Time Frame: when first child is 17 ]
- Program effects on adolescent functioning will be explained by its improvement in prenatal health, early care of the child, maternal life-course, and earlier child academic and behavioral functioning. [ Time Frame: at child age 17 ]

Free Transportation, Screening/Referral Service
The 514 families in this group received: 1) free transportation for scheduled prenatal care; and 2) developmental screening and referral services for the child at the 6th, 12th, and 24th months of the child's life.

Study Population
The Memphis trial was designed to test the effects of the program with a large sample of very low-income African-Americans living in a major urban area, when the program was administered through a local health department, and the program developers had limited involvement in its implementation. In this trial, 1,139 low-income pregnant women (98% unmarried, 67% <19 years old, 92% African-American) were randomly assigned to experimental or comparison services; 743 were followed after delivery. The sample has resided in extraordinarily stressful neighborhoods and has endured extreme poverty. At registration, the mean level of neighborhood disorganization (assessed by census tract data at the block group and using the Lauritsen scale) was 3.43 SD above the national mean, i.e., the average level of adversity in the sample neighborhoods was among the worst in the nation (in the top 1000th). 85% of the sample had incomes below the federal poverty guidelines.
