The Bronx Healthy Start Partnership (BxHSP) uses community health workers (CHWs) to support new and expectant parents through home visits, providing education, emotional support, and resources. Interviews and surveys with participants showed that CHWs help reduce stress, boost confidence, and improve parenting skills, leading to better infant care practices. The study highlights how CHW programs can bridge resource gaps, enhance well-being, and guide improvements for similar programs in the U.S.
