This study explores the effects of the two-generation program CareerAdvance-which combines education and training for parents in healthcare with Head Start for children-on children's academic, language, mathematics, and inhibitory control followed for 3 years. The sample (collected in Tulsa, Oklahoma from 2011 to 2018) includes 147 children in the CareerAdvance group and 139 children in a matched comparison group (n = 286; 40% Black, 17%, White, 10% Hispanic, 33% Mixed Race, or Other Race; M = 3.6 years old; 47% female). Overall, the effect of CareerAdvance on child outcomes is neither greater nor less than Head Start alone. These findings suggest that children's developmental outcomes do not worsen or improve in the short term when their parents return to school.
这项研究探讨了两代人计划 CareerAdvance 的效果——该计划将父母在医疗保健方面的教育和培训与儿童的 Head Start 相结合——对儿童的学术、语言、数学和抑制控制的影响，持续了 3 年。该样本（2011 年至 2018 年在俄克拉荷马州塔尔萨收集）包括 147 名参加 CareerAdvance 项目的儿童和 139 名匹配的对照组儿童（n=286；40%为黑人，17%为白人，10%为西班牙裔，33%为混合种族或其他种族；M=3.6 岁；47%为女性）。总体而言，CareerAdvance 对儿童结果的影响既不比 Head Start 单独的影响大，也不比其小。这些发现表明，当父母重返学校时，儿童的发展结果在短期内不会恶化或改善。
