Infant Cardiovascular Health (CVH) Promotion
The pilot infant CVH intervention will be delivered by Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) staff starting no later than 1 month postpartum and lasting up to 6 months postpartum. The visit schedule will be consistent with the NFP visit structure to deliver intervention content at regularly scheduled visits that are typically 60 minutes long. This pilot study will include an enhanced version of the NFP standard care plan delivered by trained nurses to promote cardiovascular health by targeting soothing, feeding, sleep, and physical activity behaviors during infancy. The intervention delivered by trained visiting nurses will include behavior change strategies (e.g., goal setting, problem solving barriers). This pilot study will also examine the feasibility and acceptability of a digital device (infant foot worn actigraphy) during this same time period.
