Abstract
The Social Support and Family Health Study is a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of three different forms of support for families with infants living in a deprived inner city area. The overall aim of the study is to quantify effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of additional health visitor input, in the form of supportive listening, compared with either input from nonprofessional family support services in the community or statutory services. Primary outcome measures such as child injury and maternal psychological ill health will be used in the study. The trial results will be available in 2002. The aim of this paper is to describe the study and our role as Support Health Visitors using a supportive listening model. Two case studies are presented followed by a discussion of the key points about this type of health visitor intervention.
