National Home Start Evaluation Interim Report V. Executive Summary. Policy Relevant Findings and Recommendations.
Deloria, Dennis; And Others
This is the executive summary of the National Home Start Evaluation interim report. Home Start, a federally-funded 3-year (1972-1975) demonstration program home-based 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. Collection and analysis of data were intended to provide partial answers to three fundamental questions: Is Home Start a wise investment of public funds? How can the existing Home Start program be improved? How can future home-based programs be made most effective? Chapters include: findings and recommendations, future study issues and two Home Start family stories. (Author/MS)
