Abstract

Given growing concern about maternal loneliness in Japan, this secondary analysis of municipal evaluation data suggests that the nationwide Universal Home Visit Program for Families with Infants ("Hello Baby") may serve as an initial point of contact and an entry point for expanding parenting support networks, with most mothers receiving a visit and reporting encouragement to talk with someone afterward.
