Goodson, Barbara D.; Layzer, Jean I.; St. Pierre, Robert G.; Bernstein, Lawrence S.; Lopez, Michael

Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v15 n1 p5-39 2000

Conducted a randomized experiment over 5 years to test effects of the Comprehensive Child Development Program (CCDP), a 2-generation program that employed case management and home visiting to ensure education, health, and social services for multi-risk, low-income children and families. Found no statistically significant impact on CCDP families when compared with control families in child or parent outcomes. (Author/KB)
