This report consists of brief descriptions of projects that, for the most part, are current or were completed in the last 3 years by the Chapin Hall Center for Children at the University of Chicago. The first section, "Problem-Oriented Services for Children and Families," describes 27 studies involving children's problems and the systems and services designed to address them. Projects studied addressed the child welfare system, child health and well-being, substitute care and adoption, family preservation and family support, mental health, and the juvenile court system. The second section, "Community-Based Supports for Children and Families," describes 33 studies concerned with the development and well-being of all children, usually with a community orientation; many of these projects focus on poor or disadvantaged children. Projects addressed primary services for child and youth development; comprehensive community strategies; documentation, evaluation, and technical assistance; and schools. The third section, "Special Consultations and Other Activities," describes five activities that supplement Chapin Hall's research agenda, including training programs and consultations with foundations.
