Changes in cross-sector collaboration between nurse home visitors and community providers in the United States: A panel survey analysis.
Article in Health services research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveAssess changes in cross-sector collaboration between Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) nurse home visitors and community providers in the United States. DATA SOURCES AND STUDY
settingWe collected primary data via internet-based surveys of all NFP nursing supervisors in the United States in 2018, 2020, and 2021. STUDY
designWe conducted a panel survey to measure changes in cross-sector collaboration between NFP nurses and 10 provider types in healthcare and social services. We assessed relational coordination using the validated seven item Relational Coordination Scale and structural integration using four items adapted from the Interagency Collaboration Activities Scale. Responses over time were compared using one-way analysis of variances (ANOVAs) and pairwise t-tests. We used the Kruskal-Wallis rank test to assess differences in collaboration by implementing agency type. DATA COLLECTION: All nursing supervisors from NFP implementing agencies in the United States were eligible for the study. Survey implementation was conducted using Qualtrics and administered to all eligible participants (N = 370 [2018], 383 [2020], 414 [2021]). Email reminders were sent every 7-10 days, followed by a final telephone outreach. PRINCIPAL
findingsThe response rate was 71% in 2018, 83% in 2020, and 74% in 2021. Relational coordination scores were calculated as a mean of the seven items and ranged from 1 to 5 (not at all to completely); integration scores were calculated as a sum of the four items and ranged from 4 to 20, where higher scores indicated greater sharing of resources. Coordination with women's care increased from 2018 to 2020 (M = 3.39 vs. 3.57; p < 0.01); while coordination (M = 3.23 vs. 3.01; p < 0.05) and integration (M = 6.50 vs. 5.28 vs. 5.43; p < 0.01) with parenting programs decreased.
conclusionsChanges to cross-sector collaboration varied by provider type, likely due to the delivery of NFP and other services via telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is an opportunity to improve cross-sector collaboration in home visiting to better address family needs.
