DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This study proposes to conduct secondary data analyses of the National Survey of Children and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW), a nationally representative longitudinal study of families investigated for child abuse and neglect. The aim of this project is to inform service provision targeted at families in contact with child welfare services primarily due to the inability to secure safe and affordable housing. Findings will inform the development of an R01 proposal to use a natural randomized-controlled trial to test the effects of housing voucher provision compared to services-as-usual. The present study intends to test the hypothesis that housing instability disrupts the development of emotional, behavioral, and academic outcomes in children. Analyses will, first, examine within-individual changes on housing instability and associated growth in developmental outcomes over time. By explicitly modeling housing changes, analyses directly estimate the effects of moving into and out of housing stability on developmental growth trajectories. Analyses also propose to examine whether child developmental problems are mitigated or prevented when caregivers receive housing vouchers (formerly known as Section 8). If housing instability predicts outcomes, then the receipt of assistance to find and pay for housing should relate to better outcomes. In the absence of experimental data, this study proposes to use propensity score matching (PSM) procedures to minimize selection bias and test the effects of housing vouchers on child welfare-involved families. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The aim of this project is to inform service provision targeted at families in contact with child welfare services due to the inability to secure safe and affordable housing. Findings will inform the understanding of risk for housing instability and the development of housing interventions.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究建议对儿童和青少年福祉调查（NSCAW）进行二次数据分析，这是一项全国代表性的对虐待和忽视儿童的家庭的代表性纵向研究。该项目的目的是告知针对家庭与儿童福利服务有关的服务条款，这主要是由于无法确保安全和负担得起的住房。调查结果将为R01提案的开发提供信息，该提案使用自然的随机控制试验来测试住房代金券提供与服务相比的影响。 本研究旨在检验以下假设，即住房不稳定性破坏了儿童情绪，行为和学术成果的发展。首先，分析将检查住房不稳定性的个人内部变化以及随着时间的推移发展结果的相关增长。通过对住房变化进行明确建模，分析直接估算出进入外壳稳定性对发育生长轨迹的影响。分析还建议检查儿童发育问题是在护理人员获得住房凭证时是否会减轻或预防（以前称为第8节）。如果住房不稳定性预测结果，那么收到援助以寻找和支付住房费用应与更好的结果有关。在没有实验数据的情况下，本研究建议使用倾向评分匹配（PSM）程序来最大程度地减少选择偏差并测试住房代金券对儿童福利涉及家庭的影响。 公共卫生相关性：该项目的目的是为与儿童福利服务接触的家庭提供服务，因为无法确保安全可负担的住房。调查结果将告知人们对住房不稳定风险和住房干预措施的发展的理解。
