Now available: 2021 Prenatal-to-3 State Policy Roadmap

2020 Prenatal-to-3 State Policy Roadmap

Through comprehensive reviews of the most rigorous evidence available, the Prenatal-to-3 Policy Impact Center identified 11 effective solutions, including 5 effective policies and 6 effective strategies, that foster the nurturing environments infants and toddlers need and many of which, reduce longstanding disparities in outcomes among racial and ethnic groups and socioeconomic statuses.

As the evidence base grows and more information becomes available, the list of effective policies and strategies will expand, and additional information on the return on investment of each effective solution will be provided. Currently, states should strive to fully implement the 11 prenatal-to-3 (PN-3) solutions with the strongest evidence of effectiveness to date.

The Roadmap explains in detail the 8 PN-3 policy goals, 5 effective policies, 6 effective strategies, and outcome measures to measure the wellbeing of children and their families. Each of the 50 states and DC can also see how they stand and how to move forward on the Roadmap policies and strategies in their own state Roadmap and the state data interactive.
