METHODOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR HOME-VISITING RESEARCH IN TRIBAL COMMUNITIES

Abstract

Drawing on previous studies and the collective experience of conducting rigorous evaluations as part of the Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting grants, we outline methodological considerations that will inform future research in tribal communities, particularly in the area of home visiting. The methodological issues we discuss are study design choices, measurement and data collection, and including community members in all aspects of the research.
