Evidence shows that babies and their low-income mothers live healthier lives when they have a home nurse visit. What does the evidence show about the effects on the children when they become young adults? Are they more or less likely to be involved in criminal behavior? David Olds and his team are looking at the effects on the criminal behavior of young adults who participated in the home nurse visit program as babies. He is coming to NIJ to share his findings as part of our "Research in the Real World" seminar series. We hope you can join us. David Olds, Ph.D., is Professor of Pediatrics, Psychiatry and Preventive Medicine at the University of Colorado.

The seminar is free, but you must RSVP to gain access to the OJP building. Allow 20 minutes to go through security. Know someone who might want to attend? For more information about this event or to RSVP, please contact Yolanda Curtis at 202–305–2554 or Yolanda.Curtis@usdoj.gov.
