新希望是一项以就业为基础的成人减贫干预措施，通过随机分配实验设计进行评估，在随机分配两年和五年后对儿童的成绩和社会行为产生了积极影响。本文讨论的问题如下：当孩子们面临青春期的挑战时（随机分配八年后），新希望对年幼孩子的积极影响是否会减弱甚至逆转？对学校进步、学校动机、积极社会行为、儿童福祉和家长控制的微小积极影响持续存在，但对学校成绩和问题行为的影响不再明显。产生持久影响的最可能原因是新希望家庭贫困的可能性稍低，而且孩子们在中心托儿所和结构化活动上花费了更多时间。新希望代表了一项模范政策，可以适度改善低收入成人和儿童的生活。 © 2011 年公共政策分析与管理协会版权所有。
New Hope, an employment‐based poverty‐reduction intervention for adults evaluated in a random‐assignment experimental design, had positive impacts on children's achievement and social behavior two and five years after random assignment. The question addressed in this paper was the following: Did the positive effects of New Hope on younger children diminish or even reverse when children reached the challenges of adolescence (eight years after random assignment)? Small positive impacts on school progress, school motivation, positive social behavior, child well‐being, and parent control endured, but impacts on school achievement and problem behavior were no longer evident. The most likely reasons for lasting impacts were that New Hope families were slightly less likely to be poor, and children had spent more time in center‐based child care and structured activities. New Hope represents a model policy that could produce modest improvements in the lives of low‐income adults and children. © 2011 by the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management.
