The goal is to support infrastructure development and national expansion of the MTB model in order to improve health and development outcomes in young, vulnerable families during the transition to parenthood.

MTB is a federally recognized, evidence-based, intensive home visiting model for first-time young families. Founded by faculty members at the Yale Child Study Center and Yale School of Nursing (YSN) in collaboration with Fair Haven Community Health Clinic in New Haven, the model reflects a rich collaboration among perspectives in prenatal care, parenting, maternal health, infant mental health, and pediatric health. http://nursing.yale.edu/mtb-kellogg-grant
