Response to Comments from the Public on Revised HomVEE Procedures and Standards and Updated HomVEE Definitions, Rules, and Procedures Related to Model Versions

For the first time since its inception, the Home Visiting Evidence of Effectiveness (HomVEE) review has substantially revised several of the evidence review's procedures and standards. These revisions were released in the Version 2 Handbook of the Procedures and Evidence Standards, which was published to the HomVEE website in December 2020. To inform the revisions, HomVEE solicited feedback through a public comment period announced in two simultaneous Federal Register notices (FRNs) published on August 5, 2020:

• Revised Procedures and Standards: Home Visiting Evidence of Effectiveness (HomVEE) Review  (PDF)
• Updated Definitions, Rules, and Procedures Related to Model Versions: Home Visiting Evidence of Effectiveness (HomVEE) Review  (PDF)

This new brief summarizes HomVEE's approach to addressing key comments from the public and expert consultants in the final Version 2 Handbook.
