Reaching population-level impact for families in poverty requires moving beyond a sole focus on individuals, to a wider focus on interactions between individuals and their broader environmental contexts. Place-based initiatives have emerged as a policy response to promote community-level change around these broader interactions between individuals and their local communities through addressing long-standing disparities in housing, employment, education, and health. Together Growing Strong (TGS) is one such place-based initiative focused on transforming the health, wellbeing, and development of young children and their families in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The Children, Caregivers, and Community (C3) Study is an outcomes-based study designed to assess the trajectories of children and families in Sunset Park along indicators such as family health and wellbeing and child development in relation to TGS program participation. The aims, scope, and protocol of the C3 Study are the subjects of this paper.
要想对贫困家庭产生广泛的影响，就需要超越对个体的单一关注，转而关注个体与更广泛的环境背景之间的相互作用。基于地点的倡议已经成为一种政策回应，旨在通过解决住房、就业、教育和健康方面长期存在的差距，促进社区层面上围绕这些个体与当地社区之间更广泛的相互作用的变革。共同成长（TGS）就是这样一个基于地点的倡议，专注于改变布鲁克林日落公园的幼儿及其家庭的健康、福利和发展。儿童、照顾者和社区（C3）研究是一项基于结果的研究，旨在评估与 TGS 项目参与相关的儿童和家庭的轨迹，指标包括家庭健康和福利以及儿童发展。本文介绍了 C3 研究的目的、范围和方案。
