About this trial
The Norwegian government is implementing the Nurse Family Partnership program (NFP) to combat child abuse and social inequality. This study will examine NFP with an individually randomized controlled parallel-group trial. The study will enroll 700 mothers over three years, with half receiving NFP services and the other half receiving standard care. The primary outcome is violence towards mothers and their children, assessed through questionnaires and observation tests. The study will also evaluate the program's effects on various health-related outcomes using administrative data. Cost-effectiveness analyses will be conducted to compare NFP to existing services and improve its delivery efficiency.
