Philadelphias’s Nurse-Family Partnership This is interesting to me because it 1) looks very effective and 2) is such a developing world thing to need. In cultures where you still have an extended family, you’ve got aunts and sisters and your mom and mother-in-law to provide advice and social support. A nurse visiting to offer friendship and support would be redundant. Of course, it would still be useful where dangerous cultural practices are in place.
