The Child-Parent Center Program and Age 40 Well-Being: Impacts and Returns, Processes, and Scale Up Evidence
Thu, April 8, 11:35am to 1:05pm EDT (11:35am to 1:05pm EDT), VirtualSession Type: Paper Symposium
Abstract
With 75% of 3- and 4-year-olds in early education outside the home, public interest in the benefits of early childhood programs has never been greater. The expansion of public Pre-K over the past decade has special relevance for assessing whether today’s programs yield benefits similar to the model programs of the 1960s and 70s. Given the goal to improve well-being, key questions include whether large-scale programs have sustained long effects; if impacts vary by program, family, and school characteristics; and by how much benefits exceed costs. Also, to what extent can economic well-being, and adult health be improved?
This symposium reports long-term findings from the Child-Parent Center Program (CPC). The first two presentations examine impacts of CPC on economic well-being at age 40 and then physical and mental health. The latter include cardiovascular health and psychological well-being. The third presentation is the benefit-cost analysis of program and components, which follows the previous age 26 study. Findings for the Midwest CPC Preschool-to-3rd Grade Expansion (CPC-P3) also are reported. These provide evidence on the generalizability to current programs and practices.
Each study addresses 3 questions: (a) What are the overall effects for the chosen outcomes or benefits? (b) Which program, family, and community characteristics moderate effects?, and (c) Does the Five-Hypothesis Model (5HM) account for the observed effects? The Midwest CPC-P3 study emphasizes generalizability to current practice. The Co-Chairs will address the implications of these findings for contemporary practice within the context of the coronavirus pandemic, the economic recession, and social unrest.
