The Comprehensive Child Development Program (CCDP) was a two-generation program that employed case management and home visiting to assure low-income children and their parents of a range of educational, health, and social services. Designed to meet the complex needs of disadvantaged families, CCDP was predicted by its planners to generate positive short- and long-term effects across a variety of child and parent well-being indicators. This article describes the CCDP program and reviews the results of the program evaluation. The evaluation of 21 project sites and 4,410 families followed for five years found no statistically significant impact of CCDP on program families when they were compared with control families in any of the assessed domains: early childhood education, child and family health, parenting education, family economic self-sufficiency, or maternal life course. The authors conclude that the results of this evaluation do not support home visiting as an effective means of social service delivery and parenting education for low-income families.
综合儿童发展项目(CCDP)是一个两代人参与的项目,该项目采用个案管理和家访的方式,为低收入儿童及其父母提供一系列教育、健康和社会服务。CCDP旨在满足弱势家庭的复杂需求,其规划者预计该项目会在各种儿童和家长福祉指标上产生积极的短期和长期影响。本文介绍了CCDP项目,并回顾了项目评估的结果。对21个项目点和4410个家庭进行的为期五年的评估发现,与对照家庭相比,CCDP在任何评估领域(幼儿教育、儿童和家庭健康、育儿教育、家庭经济自给自足或母亲人生历程)对项目家庭均未产生统计学上的显著影响。作者得出结论,该评估结果不支持家访是为低收入家庭提供社会服务和育儿教育的有效方式这一观点。
