DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This continuation study will investigate links between participation in an established, federally-funded early childhood intervention and adult well being up to age 30 for a large cohort of children (93% African American) in the Chicago Longitudinal Study who grew up in high poverty neighborhoods. Five major questions are addressed: (a) Is participation in the CPC preschool program associated with greater well being for educational attainment, economic self-sufficiency, social behavior, health status and behavior, and mental health 20 to 25 later?, (b) Are the effects of participation in extended intervention for 4 to 6 years greater than participation in less extensive or unsystematic intervention?, (c) Do the estimated effects of program participation vary by child and family risk, program attributes, and neighborhood factors?, (d) Do the cognitive advantage, family support, and school support mechanisms of intervention effects persist to age 30?, and (e) Do the economic benefits of participation in the CPC program continue to exceed costs and by how much? By further expanding the project into adulthood, the proposed study will document the impact and cost- effectiveness of early intervention across a wide range of rarely investigated outcomes. No other studies of publicly-funded early childhood programs have continued through the third decade. The study sample of 902 program and 487 comparison-group participants represents 91% and 89% of the original sample, respectively. Over the next five years, we will obtain and analyze a comprehensive set of new data from educational, justice system, public aid, and social-service records, conduct follow-up interviews for the entire sample at age 29/30, and analyze existing data from multiple sources. The key long-term goals are (a) to increase knowledge about the adulthood effects of early intervention, including its timing and duration, (b) to identify the enduring mechanisms through which early interventions affect well being over the life course, and (c) to determine the cost effectiveness of intervention relative to other social programs.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项继续研究将调查参与成熟的，由联邦资助的幼儿干预措施与成人福利的参与，直到30岁，大批儿童（93％的非裔美国人）在芝加哥纵向研究中，他们在高贫困社区中长大。解决了五个主要问题：（a）参与CPC学前班计划，与受教育程度更大相关，经济自给自足，自给自足，社会行为，健康状况和行为以及精神健康20至25之后的心理健康？ （d）认知优势，家庭支持和干预效果的学校支持机制是否持续到30岁？以及（e）参与CPC计划的经济利益是否继续超过成本？通过将项目进一步扩展到成年期，拟议的研究将记录在很少研究的结果中早期干预的影响和成本效益。在第三个十年中，没有其他关于公开资助的幼儿计划的研究。 902程序和487个比较组参与者的研究样本分别占原始样本的91％和89％。在接下来的五年中，我们将从教育，司法系统，公共援助和社会服务记录中获取并分析一系列新数据，对29/30岁的整个样本进行后续访谈，并分析来自多个来源的现有数据。至关重要的长期目标是（a）增加有关早期干预措施的成年影响的知识，包括其时间和持续时间，（b）确定早期干预措施会影响生命过程中的健康状况的持久机制，以及（c）确定相对于其他社会计划的干预效率。
