Description:
To assess the evidence of effectiveness of culturally relevant models that have been implemented in tribal communities, HomVEE conducted a systematic review in fall 2010 focusing specifically on studies relevant to tribal communities. Our search for relevant studies included consideration of research and evaluation conducted in indigenous communities outside of the United States. Although there is tremendous variation between Native and indigenous communities within the United States and across the globe, they share similarities such as traditional culture, historical trauma from colonization, and health disparities. Lessons learned from the implementation and evaluation of culturally relevant home visiting in indigenous settings outside the United States can provide useful information to AIAN communities as they make decisions about home visiting and its evaluation in their own communities. This report represents the fifth update to the original review. As of this update, the HomVEE systematic review identified 49 effectiveness studies of home visiting programs with tribal populations (see Box 1). (author abstract)
