This article provides an overview of a training and consultation program aimed at enhancing the capacity of Early Head Start (EHS) and Migrant and Seasonal Head Start (MSHS) programs to address infant mental health issues from a promotion, prevention, and treatment perspective. This program was implemented by the Early Head Start National Resource Center (EHS NRC), operated by ZERO TO THREE. The EHS NRC is funded by the Head Start Bureau to provide a diverse array of training and technical assistance support services to Early Head Start programs throughout the country. In the fall of 2001, ZERO TO THREE was funded to design and implement the Pathways Initiative. While ZERO TO THREE was not funded to test the efficacy of the Pathways Initiative as a research intervention similar to other papers described in this special issue, we worked creatively to identify resources that allowed us to engage an external evaluator to look at both process and outcome measures. This paper describes the consultation program, evaluation activities, and key lessons learned.
本文概述了一个培训与咨询项目，该项目旨在提升早期开端计划（EHS）以及移民与季节性开端计划（MSHS）从促进、预防和治疗角度解决婴幼儿心理健康问题的能力。此项目由零至三岁组织运营的早期开端计划国家资源中心（EHS NRC）实施。EHS NRC由开端计划局提供资金，为全国的早期开端计划提供一系列多样的培训和技术援助支持服务。2001年秋季，零至三岁组织获得资金以设计并实施“路径计划”。尽管零至三岁组织未获得资金将“路径计划”作为与本期特刊中其他论文所述类似的研究干预措施来测试其效果，但我们创造性地找到了资源，使我们能够聘请外部评估人员来考察过程和结果指标。本文介绍了咨询项目、评估活动以及主要经验教训。
