Burström B, Mellblom J, Marttila A, et al. - Among children 0-36 months, receiving an extended postnatal home visiting programme (Intervention Group) in a disadvantaged area with poorer child health, and in control groups (Control Group and Rinkeby Comparison Group), in Stockholm, Sweden, researchers examined electronic child health records to follow-up healthcare utilization and measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination rates. Compared with children in the Rinkeby Comparison Group, those in the Intervention Group had a significantly higher MMR vaccination rate. Healthcare utilization was comparable in the Intervention Group and the control groups. The extended home visiting programme had a beneficial effect on the MMR vaccination rate. Those receiving the six recommended home visits had less inpatient treatment use. Besides being perceived positively by parents in an area with higher healthcare needs, the program may have a positive impact on the use of healthcare for their children.
