| Annotation | The belief that health visiting is ineffective is challenged in this article by looking at several studies which demonstrate its effectiveness. However, the authors acknowledge that current methods of evaluating the effectiveness of many health services are far from perfect, and that some of the benefits of services like health visiting are more easily ascertained than others.It is concluded that future debates concerning the effectiveness of health visiting must acknowledge the limitations of both current definitions of health visiting, and methods of evaluating health services.
