Overview
Brief Summary
This study is a longitudinal cohort study that follows participants in a randomized clinical trial of a program of prenatal and early child home visiting on maternal and offspring risks for chronic disease.
Detailed Description
Addressing the unacceptably high rates of chronic disease and premature mortality among low-income African Americans (AA) is a public health imperative. The proposed study addresses this challenge by building upon decades of follow-up of low-income, primarily AA participants in a randomized clinical trial of the Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP), a program of prenatal and infant/toddler nurse home visiting for low-income mothers with no previous live births. It examines NFP effects on risks for cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes (T2D), and chronic kidney disease (CKD), as well as premature mortality among both mothers and their first-born offspring at offspring age 30. It is the first adequately powered study of a very early intervention to examine risks for chronic disease and mortality, assessing both mothers and their first-born offspring. Please note that for this section of the longitudinal study, just the outcome measures for 30 years after delivery are being measured. The study team also measured these outcome measures at baselines, 12 years, and 18 years after delivery in other studies, but for this specific study, the time frame for the listed outcome measures is 30 years after delivery.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mortality - Mothers
Time Frame: measured once, approximately 30 years after delivery.
The study team expects the intervention to reduce the rates of all-cause mortality among mothers given that death is more likely among those with COVID infections who have underlying chronic conditions. Moreover, the study team expects the program to reduce mortality for chronic diseases and CVD among mothers if the rates are sufficiently high to detect such differences.

Mortality - Offspring
Time Frame: measured once, approximately 30 years after delivery.
Among offspring, those who become infected with COVID are less likely to die than their mothers, given that their underlying chronic conditions are less likely to be as serious or prevalent. Therefore, the investigators expect the treatment-control differences to be limited to external causes. Note that in the original proposal the authors had included deaths due preventable causes (SIDS) as operationalized in a recent publication: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34420828/. Given the controversy that has emerged in recent years about whether the causes of SIDS are uniformly preventable, SIDS was added to a modified version of this outcome that includes external cuases, that will be analyzed as an exploratory outcome in examining offspring mortality. The authors also will conduct an exploratory analysis of all-cause mortality.
