Also: http://www.abtassoc.com/reports/Indy_Child_Final_Report.pdf Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 ID Number: 4194 Publisher: Abt Associates Inc. Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This report addresses the following research question: How has Indiana's welfare reform program affected children? The findings are based on an in-home survey conducted between March and November 2000. The survey, which generated a 70-percent response rate, was administered to a representative statewide sample of single-parent families with children, on average 5 years after the families entered Indiana's welfare reform program. Most of the results in this report are based on a sample of 1,679 families who had a child between 5 and 12 years old at the time of the survey. Findings based on a smaller set of outcomes are presented for 1,126 adolescent children who were between 13 and 17 years old at the time of the survey. The survey measured numerous child outcomes relating to educational performance, social and emotional adjustment, and health. In addition, the survey measured a number of other aspects of children's environments that could be affected by welfare reform, including the home environment and parenting practices, family stability and turbulence, maternal mental health and domestic abuse, absent parent involvement, and child care. The NLSY79 Child was used as a national comparison group for BPI scores, accidents and injuries, and receipt of routine medical and dental care. Search returned 1 items.
