This study examined whether exposure to different patterns of poverty-related adversity (i.e., risk profiles) was associated with longitudinal child outcomes and children's response to Head Start. Data came from the Head Start Impact Study involving 3-year-old children (=2449; 52% girls; 37% Latiné; 33% White; 30% Black). Results from latent profile analysis and time-varying effect modeling suggested that (a) child risk profiles differed in their social-emotional and learning outcomes over time, (b) only children in certain risk profiles benefitted from Head Start, and (c) these benefits emerged at different times. Findings can be used to inform tailored approaches to ensure the greatest number of children benefit from early educational interventions.
本研究考察了暴露于不同模式的与贫困相关的逆境（即风险状况）是否与儿童的纵向发展结果以及儿童对“启智计划”的反应相关。数据来自“启智计划影响研究”，涉及3岁儿童（=2449名；52%为女孩；37%为拉丁裔；33%为白人；30%为黑人）。潜在类别分析和时变效应模型的结果表明：（a）随着时间推移，儿童的风险状况在社会情感和学习成果方面存在差异；（b）只有处于特定风险状况的儿童从“启智计划”中受益；（c）这些益处出现在不同时间。研究结果可用于指导针对性方法，以确保尽可能多的儿童从早期教育干预中受益。
