Extended postnatal home visiting programme
The Rinkeby extended home visiting programme was created in 2013 as an answer to persisting health inequities among children in Stockholm County. The programme was offered to all first-time parents in Rinkeby, where socio-economic and health indicators were among the worst in the county.
The implementation was carried out in collaboration between child health care nurses from the CHC centre and parental advisors from the social services, an innovation in the Swedish context.
