^a If a model was not in existence for at least three years the answer is No.

^b If none of the documents reviewed by HomVEE (see the implementation report reference list) included information about a topic and if the developer provided no additional guidance on a topic the answer is No.

^c Model specifies that all implementing agencies funded through MIECHV must meet fidelity standards; this is not a requirement for implementing agencies that do not receive MIECHV funds.

^d Information in this table refers only to SafeCare, not Project 12-Ways.

Field Descriptions

In existence for 3 years?
: Model operated for at least 3 years; model does not have to be operating when reviewed by HomVEE.
Associated with national organization or institution of higher education?: National organization or institution of higher education includes non-U.S. based institutions.
Minimum requirements for frequency of visits?: Model is considered to have minimum requirements for frequency of visits is developer provides guidance about minimum number of visits required or recommended.
Minimum education requirements for home visitors?: Model is considered to have minimum education requirements for home visitors if model specifies that the home visitors must have at least a high school degree or GED or higher.
Supervision requirements for home visitors?: Model is considered to have minimum supervision requirements for home visitors if model requires that home visitors participate in supervision. Model does not need to specify the mode of supervision (such as group or individual meetings) or the frequency of supervision to meet this requirement.
Pre-service training for home visitors?: A model is considered to require pre-service training for home visitors if home visitors are required to complete any training requirements prior to initiating home visiting. Model does not have to offer training, certified trainers, or training materials to meet this requirement.
Fidelity standards for local implementing agencies?: Model is considered to have fidelity standards for IAs if the model specifies any standards IAs must meet on an ongoing basis.
System for monitoring fidelity?: Model is considered to have a system for monitoring fidelity if includes a formal or informal process by which the model developer monitors fidelity or guidance for IAs about how to monitor fidelity (including a self-assessment process).
Specified content and activities for home visits?: Model is considered to have specified content and activities for home visits if the model requires IAs follow a specific curriculum or has a specified protocol outlining the topics that home visitors should cover either by visit or by developmental milestones. If IAs can select a curriculum or design their own content, the answer is No.
