    Abstract:
    AIMS: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of an augmented home visiting programme in preventing intimate partner violence among Latinx mothers by nativity. BACKGROUND: Intimate partner violence diminishes home visit programmes' effectiveness. Immigrant Latinx mothers are especially vulnerable and need culturally tailored prevention. METHODS: We performed secondary analyses of 33 US-born and 86 foreign-born Latinx mothers at baseline and 1- and 2-year follow-up in a longitudinal randomized controlled trial of the Nurse-Family Partnership programme augmented with nurse-delivered Within My Reach relationship education curriculum and violence screening and referrals in Oregon. We estimated proportional odds models via generalized estimating equations on total physical and sexual victimization and/or perpetration forms (an ordinal variable), adjusting for intervention, wave, age and education. RESULTS: The intervention-nativity interaction was not significant (p = .953). Foreign-born status was associated with lower reported violence at baseline (adjusted odds ratio: 0.29, 95% confidence interval: 0.13-0.67, p = .004). This association was marginally significant at 1-year follow-up (0.43, 0.17-1.08, p = .072) and not significant at 2-year follow-up (0.75, 0.33-1.67, p = .475). CONCLUSIONS: This augmented programme was not effective for Latinx mothers by nativity. Their nativity gap diminished over time. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nursing leaders should support culturally tailored home visiting programmes to detect and prevent intimate partner violence affecting Latinx immigrants.
