This report summarizes survey findings from a national survey of all MIECHV-funded LIAs and and key themes from the case studies of 26 of those LIAs that explored why home visitors enter the home visiting field, why they stay in or leave the field, their backgrounds and job qualifications, their work environment and opportunity for growth and advancement, and staff training experiences and needs. The study findings highlight the factors that support home visitors in their roles and ways in which home visiting staff feel challenged. Together, the survey and case study findings provide insights into the experiences of this diverse and understudied workforce and point to strategies that could further strengthen them.
