Far from Home: An Experimental Evaluation of the Mother-Child Home Program in Bermuda.

Scarr, Sandra; McCartney, Kathleen

Child Development, v59 n3 p531-43 Jun 1988

Effects of the Mother-Child Home Program (MCHP) were evaluated with a broad range of measures on cognition, social behavior, and emotion. Findings indicated that children in Bermuda scored above U.S. norms on cognitive tests and were functioning well in the preschool period. The MCHP had few demonstrable effects on any segment of the sample. (RH)
