Low-income mothers and their first-born children who received home visits from nurses were less likely to die from preventable causes during a two-decade period, according to a report. Beginning in 1990, this trial enrolled low-income, primarily African-American mothers living in disadvantaged neighborhoods, and assessed maternal and child mortality for over two decades until 2011.
