A home visit intervention program for adolescents throughout their pregnancy and during the early stages of motherhood was evaluated. The participants (N = 90) were part of a larger group of adolescents treated in two health centers in a poor neighborhood in Santiago, Chile. The program was carried out by volunteer community health monitors and evaluated through an experimental, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Cost-effectiveness was examined in comparison with standard health care. Results show higher scores for the intervention group on the mothers' mental health and nutritional state, as well as on the children's levels of linguistic development.
对一项针对整个孕期和产后早期的青少年的家庭访视干预计划进行了评估。参与者（N=90）是智利圣地亚哥一个贫困社区的两个卫生中心所治疗的青少年群体的一部分。该计划由志愿社区卫生监测员实施，并通过实验性、随机、对照临床试验进行评估。与标准保健相比，还对其成本效益进行了考察。结果表明，干预组在母亲的心理健康和营养状况，以及儿童的语言发展水平方面的得分更高。
