National Home Start Evaluation Interim Report VI. Executive Summary: Findings and Recommendations.
Love, John M.; And Others
This is an executive summary of the interim report on National Home Start Evaluation. Home Start, a federally-funded 3-year (1972-1975) home-based demonstration program for low-income families with 3- to 5-year-old children was designed to enhance a mother's skills in dealing with her own children and to provide comprehensive social-emotional, health and nutritional services. The following questions dealt with: What is the nature and cost of the Home Start Program? How do projects vary from site to site? What effects has Home Start had on families during the first 12 months? How do 12-month cost and effects of Home Start compare to corresponding cost and effects of the Head Start programs? Recommendations and future study issues are also presented. (Author/MS)
