Abstract
The article at hand provides an overview of early childhood prevention and intervention in Germany and in the USA. Presented are nine German and four US-American home-visitation programs, primarily targeting at-risk families. The NZFH and MIECHV government coordinated programs which span federal states in both countries, are introduced. The evidence-based effects of the early prevention programs are briefly presented. Despite similar program approaches, the most important differences are the universality of public health care and social services, general prevention policies and staffing (family midwives in Germany vs. nurses or para-professionals in the USA).
