Description: This study, conducted under a contract to Abt
Associates, Inc., responds to the requirement of Subpart 2, Section 435
of OBRA 1993, which directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services
to evaluate the effectiveness of family support programs. The

information on eight programs, including information about the
operation of such programs and outcomes for families and children who
participate. Information will be collected beginning in Fall, 1996,
through interviews with parents, children, and teachers of children who
are participants in family support programs. Domains of interest
include adult and child strengths, home environment, child development,
children's school success, development of children's social
responsibility, family resources, family social support networks,
adoption of healthy lifestyles, community environment, community
resources, and community networks.
