Bacon, Judith; Brinksults, Satya
Education Canada, v43 n1 p16-17,39 Win 2003
A 5-year Canadian study examined community factors that influence child development. Surveys of 13 communities found the most important family factors to be family income and mother's education. The most important community factors were social support, neighborhood safety, residential stability, and use of resources. Efforts should focus on increasing the use of existing programs, not developing new ones. (TD)
