Using Local Research To Change 100 Communities for Children and Families.

Riley, David A.

American Psychologist, v52 n4 p424-33 Apr 1997

Describes two projects aimed at improving child development. Both the "School-Age Child Care" project and the "Parenting the First Year" project were replicated over 50 times as a means of moving 100 communities to action for child development. The diffusion model of outreach is contrasted with the knowledge generation process through collaborative research. (SLD)
