In this brief, we provide evidence on the Early Head Start home visiting workforce’s mental health, work stress, perception of organizational climate and personal safety, and supervisory and coaching opportunities. We then present findings from a multivariate regression analysis showing how factors associated with job demands—including recent home visitor turnover, work stress, and personal safety in the field—and job supports—including the capacity to offer virtual visits, coaching, supervision, and organizational climate—relate to job satisfaction. As covariates in our analysis, we include characteristics of home visitors and their programs that were found to be important in past research. These findings offer important insights on key correlates of home visitor job satisfaction. The brief provides policymakers and practitioners with evidence about factors associated with reduced burnout in the home visiting workforce. (author abstract)
