NYC Results
Nurse-Family Partnership is an evidence-based, community health program with 45 years of research showing significant improvements in the health and lives of first-time moms and their children affected by social and economic inequality.
While only the original researchers have had the funding to study a wide range of life status and financial measures in detail, there have been less extensive studies in several cities including New York.

Statistics
The statistics below were produced by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation (PIRE), which estimated NFP’s impact in New York City based on interpolation of previous controlled studies modified for a live implementation. PIRE looked at such outcomes as health behaviors, health status, education, criminal offending, and use of the public safety net.
PIRE estimated that for every 1,000 low-income families enrolled in NFP the following negative outcomes are prevented:
| Negative Consequences Avoided | |

In addition, every NFP program in the country provides annual statistics to the National Service Office on such measures as rates of immunization, breastfeeding and its duration, number of months before a second pregnancy (goal: at least 18 months) and more. Each program also provides comparisons of these rates with available local statistics for non-NFP participants. NYC NFP’s actual results exceed the city averages on all measures.
