| Summary: | This data collection is the third wave of an intensive
study in Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio, which was initiated to
assess the well-being of low-income children and families in the
post-welfare reform era. The project investigates the strategies
families have used to respond to reform, in terms of employment,
schooling or other forms of training, residential mobility, and
fertility. Central to this project is a focus on how these strategies
affect children's lives, with an emphasis on their health and
development as well as their need for, and use of, social services.
For the first wave of the study, between March 1999 and December 1999,
a random sample of approximately 2,400 households with children in
low-income neighborhoods in Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio were
selected for interviews. Forty percent of the families interviewed
were receiving cash welfare payments at the time of the interview.
Each household had a child aged 0 to 4 or aged 10 to 14 at the time of
the interview. The child and the child's primary female caregiver are
the focus of the study. Extensive baseline information was gathered at
the initial personal interview with the caregivers, tested younger
children were assessed, and older children were interviewed. All
interviews were conducted in-person using a computerized instrument.
The third wave of data collection took place between February 2005 and
January 2006, when the focal children were aged 5 to 10 or aged 15 to
20. |
