RE: home visiting in Britain and Denmark

["Mapp, Susan C" <mapps@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's not another country per se, but when I worked for the Army in
Germany, they had a "New Parent Support Program" that included home
visiting. I'm not sure if they have it in the States as well.

Subject: home vistiing in Britain and Denmark

I have an old article stating that home visiting of new 
mothers is routine in Denmark and Britain. is this still 
true? Does anyone know in what other countries new mothers 
are routinely visited and by whom, without necessarily being 
part of a "risk group?"

Thanks.
