    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • Health visitor caseloads play a crucial role in assessing and managing family health risks.
    • Previous assessments of health visiting resource allocation lacked detailed analysis of risk patterns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the distribution of health risks across families within specific health authority caseloads.
    • To identify potential misallocations of health visiting resources based on identified health needs.

    Main Methods:

    • Assessed 16,000 families using 26 criteria known to impact long-term health.
    • Analyzed the geographical distribution and concentration of high-risk families within health visitor caseloads.

    Main Results:

    • Significant variations in long-term health risks were observed among individual families.

  • High-risk families were disproportionately concentrated within certain health visitor caseloads and specific geographical areas.

    • Conclusions:

    • The study suggests a substantial misallocation of health visiting resources.
    • Recommendations include adjusting resource distribution to align with identified patterns of family health needs.
