PRIDE IN PARENTING TRAINING-PROGRAM - A CURRICULUM FOR TRAINING LAY HOME VISITORS

The Pride in Parenting Training Curriculum was developed by a transdis ciplinary team of professionals as part of a community-based research project of the National Institutes of Health-District of Columbia Init iative to Reduce Infant Mortality in Minority Populations. The 25-unit training program has been used to train lay home visitors to deliver a home visiting curriculum focused on effective use of health care ser vices and improved infant development. The curriculum is a valuable re source for the preparation of paraprofessionals who can address the ne eds of mothers and infants in an integrated manner.
