DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed study seeks to take a careful look at the characteristics of a policy relevant population of children with homeless experiences and the relations between these experiences and their educational well-being. This study will employ innovative theoretical and methodological approaches which address critiques of the existing body of research. By using a comprehensive, developmental epidemiological conceptual framework and a state-of-the-art municipal, integrated data system, this study will examine children's early homeless experiences from birth through the end of third grade. It will do so for a policy-relevant 3rd-grade cohort of public school children in the poorest of the 10 largest cities in the US-Philadelphia. The population-based approach for the integration of administrative records across all public service systems allows for careful control of other child and family risk factors that are known to co- occur with homelessness. Furthermore, the longitudinal nature of the data allows for a careful look at the multiple developmental pathways between early risks, homelessness, and multiple educational outcomes. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The current federal administration has identified the issues of homelessness and education amongst its top policy priorities. The proposed study seeks to address the nexus of these two issues by conducting a population-based study of the relations between multiple characteristics of homelessness and educational well-being for a policy-relevant cohort of third grade children. Findings from the study will be used to inform policy and practice for education and social service professionals.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的研究旨在仔细研究与无家可归的经验和这些经验和他们的教育福祉之间的关系的儿童的政策相关人口的特点。这项研究将采用创新的理论和方法，解决现有的研究机构的批评。通过使用一个全面的，发展的流行病学概念框架和一个国家的最先进的市政，综合数据系统，本研究将探讨儿童的早期无家可归的经验，从出生到三年级结束。它将为美国10个最大城市中最贫穷的费城的公立学校三年级学生提供政策相关的服务。以人口为基础的办法将所有公共服务系统的行政记录整合在一起，从而可以仔细控制已知与无家可归同时发生的其他儿童和家庭风险因素。此外，数据的纵向性质允许仔细研究早期风险，无家可归和多种教育成果之间的多种发展途径。 公共卫生相关性：当前的联邦政府已将无家可归和教育问题确定为其最高政策优先事项。拟议的研究旨在通过对无家可归者的多种特征与政策相关的三年级儿童群体的教育福祉之间的关系进行基于人口的研究，来解决这两个问题的联系。研究结果将用于教育和社会服务专业人员的政策和实践。
