Abstract
This proposal is for a competing continuation to allow the completion of the scope of work proposed for R40 MC 00254 - Intergenerational Pathways to Competence in Minority Families. The aims of the original grant were to collect adult data on individuals who had earlier been involved in randomized trials of early childhood educational intervention, including data on establishment of families, parenting effectiveness, and data from children aged 3 and older born to the adults. Adult participants were enrolled as infants in two consecutive randomized trials of early childhood intervention for poor children: the Abecedarian Project and Project CARE. Data on families, parenting skills (attitudes and practices), home environments, and childcare arrangements for young children will be collected from all adults who are parents. In addition, psychological evaluations of children born to these adults will include: parent ratings of socioemotional functioning and behavior ratings and for children who are at least 3 years old, individual standardized tests of reading and math skills, multigenerational models that link factors from the generation of parents of the original infant sample (drawn from extant data sets), data on the second generation in early and middle childhood and young adulthood, and child outcomes in the third generation will be tested. The long-term outcomes of early child care, types of early intervention for children, and direct support for parents will be the primary focus of this research, These data will have immediate and direct impact on public policy developments in the areas of early childhood education, child care, parenting and healthcare.Publications
