Lieu T. 2001. "BABE: The Birth and Beyond Experiences Study" Home Versus Group Visits After Early Postpartum Discharge: [Final report]. Oakland, CA: Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program, 30 pp.

Annotation: The purpose of this project was to test the hypothesis that low-risk mothers and newborns will be at reduced risk of adverse health outcome if assigned to receive a home visit rather than a group clinic visit on the third postpartum day. Low-risk mothers and newborns were identified prior to hospital discharge. These study subjects were enrolled, interviewed, and randomized to a home visit (intervention) or a group clinic visit (usual care) on the third postpartum day. Outcome data were obtained from telephone interviews with mothers from computerized utilization databases at Kaiser Permanente. An adverse health outcome was defined as any of the following during the first 14 postpartum days: an urgent clinic visit by the newborn or mother, breastfeeding discontinuation, maternal depressive symptoms, or rehospitalization of the newborn and/or the mother.
