Longitudinal Effects of Extended Early Childhood Intervention

总结 该项目调查参与大规模既定的幼儿教育与 干预和幸福的芝加哥纵向研究（CLS）队列40岁以下和一个新的 来自中西部按比例扩大到12岁的同一计划的世代队列。中心目的是 确定参加儿童家长中心（CPC）学前班到3年级计划的影响 在不同的时间和背景下是可概括的，并影响长期健康 和幸福将收集有关职业成功的新数据，并进行健康访谈， 生理和心理健康诊断。社会情绪，心理健康和父母的结果将是 在新的队列中进行评估，以直接应用于当前的计划。 关键问题包括：（a）参加方案协调会方案是否始于2004年？ 学前教育与中年经济和职业成功，心理健康和 身体健康？(b)参与扩大的新一代计划是否会带来以下好处 认知，学术和社会情感技能，类似于在CLS评估的程序？， 以及（c）新一代计划的估计影响是否因剂量，组织属性， 儿童/家庭人口统计学，以及不良的童年经历？经济效益和成本以及 将审查变革的生成机制，以便向利益攸关方转化。 研究样本包括1，404名计划和匹配的比较参与者（队列1）和 来自三个地理位置不同的地区的2 314名新一代参与者实施了 计划于2012-13年开始。他们将被随访至12岁，而队列1将被跟踪至40岁。 两个队列均提供了大量信息，但队列2是CPC扩大规模的一部分， 进一步扩大和可持续性。在接下来的五年里，我们将收集，获取和分析一个 一组关于身体健康、心理健康和职业成功的综合新数据（队列 1)以及社会情感、家庭和教育结果（队列2）。继续收集 健康、教育和收入的行政数据也将出现。 产品总分类目前的规模扩大，提高了评估对福祉影响的重要性 这是一个非常重要的项目，对于它来说，跨代影响的普遍性知识是必不可少的。给定 学前教育项目的资金大幅增加，有证据表明， 许多项目不足以产生持续的收益，需要更多关于当前项目的证据 比以往任何时候这也符合第二类转化科学的优先顺序。

Summary The project investigates links between participation in a large-scale established early childhood intervention and well-being for the Chicago Longitudinal Study (CLS) cohort up to age 40 and for a new generation cohort from the Midwest scale-up of the same program by age 12. The central purpose is to determine if the effects of participation in the Child-Parent Center (CPC) Preschool-to-Grade 3 program for different lengths of time are generalizable across time and context as well as impact long-run health and well-being. New data will be collected on career success and a health interview will obtain key physical and mental health diagnostics. Socio-emotional, mental health, and parent outcomes will be assessed in the new cohort for direct application to current programs. Among the key questions are the following: (a) Is participation in the CPC program beginning in preschool associated with better well-being in midlife for economic and career success, mental health, and physical health? (b) Does participation in the scaled-up new generation program yield benefits on cognitive, scholastic, and socio-emotional skills that are similar to the program evaluated in the CLS?, and (c) Do the estimated effects of the new generation program vary by dosage, organizational attributes, child/family demographics, and adverse childhood experiences? Economic benefits and costs as well as generative mechanisms of change will be examined for translation to stakeholders. The study samples includes 1,404 program and matched comparison participants (Cohort 1) and a new generation cohort of 2,314 participants from three geographically diverse districts implementing the program beginning in 2012-13. They will be followed to age 12 while Cohort 1 will be tracked to age 40. Extensive information is available from both cohorts but Cohort 2 is part of a scale up of CPC designed for further expansion and sustainability. In the next five years, we will collect, obtain, and analyze a comprehensive set of new data for physical health, psychological well-being, and career success (Cohort 1) and for socio-emotional, family, and education outcomes (Cohort 2). Continued collection of administrative data of health, education, and earnings also will occur. The importance of assessing impacts on well-being is elevated by the current scale up of the CPC program and for which knowledge of the generalizability of effects across generations is essential. Given the large expansion of funding for preschool programs and evidence that the quality and continuity of many programs are not sufficient to yield sustained gains, evidence on current programs are needed more than ever. This is also consistent with the priority of Type 2 translational science.
